I happened to catch this film one afternoon on TCM and was pleasantly surprised. Joan Crawford and Margaret Sullavan had amazing chemistry. Melvyn Douglas, Robert Young and Fay Bainter were also their usual wonderful selves. I was very taken when Joan lovingly embraced her maid played by the amazing Hattie McDaniel. I'm sure that raised eyebrows back in 1938, especially in the South. It was most poignant. Overall, it was a good movie, well directed and well played.
