    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Shortly before the film was made, Joan Crawford was dating the president of Universal Pictures, who offered her the role. She also was given her choice of leading man, and she selected Jeff Chandler.
    • Goofs
      The type of doorbell that is featured prominently in Crawford's beach house, with four large chime tubes, in reality makes a very different sound than the doorbell sound effect that is heard on the soundtrack whenever the bell is rung.
    • Quotes

      Drummond Hall: Why are you so angry with me?

      Lynn Markham: I'm not anything with you, and I'd prefer to keep it that way.

      Drummond Hall: I'd like to think we could be friends.

      Lynn Markham: Why?

      Drummond Hall: Well, for a starter, you...

      Lynn Markham: Look, why don't you stop pressing? Mrs. Crandall might have been interested in your product, but Mrs. Markham is not.

      Drummond Hall: You're taking an awful lot for granted, aren't you?

      Lynn Markham: Strange; I was thinking the same thing about you.

      Drummond Hall: Why? Just because I'm being friendly?

      Lynn Markham: You're about as friendly as a suction pump.

    6/10
    Older woman falls for beach boy; a lost Crawford heavy-breather...
    Glossy trash has wealthy, beach front-living Joan Crawford wooed by shady gigolo Jeff Chandler. Low-brow fun, an adaptation of Robert Hill's play "The Besieged Heart", with steamy clinches and page after page of florid dialogue. Director Joseph Pevney seems to be a perfect match for Crawford: he's obviously tough on the unyielding actress and doesn't let her get away with many "Mildred Pierce"-isms. Crawford also seems to have been personally swayed by hunky Chandler, who doesn't let her hog the spotlight. However, neither star is guided with a trace of self-effacing humor, which turns the proceedings into straight-faced camp. Some of the lines are howlers. **1/2 from ****
