    • Quotes

      Nardo Denning: In case you're interested, Cameron, your wife's behavior with me tonight has been impeccable.

      Ben Cameron: I'm just a farmer, Denning, I don't know what the word "impeccable" means. If it means what it sounds like, uh, congratulations.

    Pacy melodrama
    This one has a farmer, his wife and her ex-lover. And a case full of money. It is not particularly memorable, but has pace, good acting, and a gorgeous Debra Paget. What else could you ask for?
