Very surprised to find this film disappointing - given the director and cast. Whatever great talents are involved in this - and whatever the stage play it's based on - the story as presented doesn't hold. None of the three leads has any viable purpose, and they are surrounded by purposeless extra characters... among whom, not surprising that Marilyn Monroe is not remembered for this... in contrast to her previous stunning cameo in All About Eve - here she has nothing to do or be. The leads - Barbara Stanwyck, Paul Douglas, Robert Ryan - are type-cast, and not allowed to do or be anything more.
