A beautiful gal returns to her small town and has to choose between the local big shot and an old flame loser. I've been a little down in the dumps today (not the best time to watch noir) so you'll have to forgive me if I don't feel like writing much. The film is a little on the dull side, but has a gentle, poetic mood to it that reminded me of Borzage, a sort of lush but doomed romanticism. Gardner, Raft and McLaglen are all pretty good, Conway perhaps a little too obviously slimy. I feel like this is on the borderline between "Fair" and "Good" but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.
