    Storyline

    Edit
    Ann, a former chorus girl marries above herself into a rich society family, but her mother-in-law regards her with great suspicion from the start. When Ann shoots her husband dead, claiming she thought he was a prowler, the older Mrs. Grenville decides to back the woman she despises, to protect the family image. —Anonymous

    • Trivia
      Claudette Colbert's last film.
    • Goofs
      It's supposed to be 1944, but the first exterior view of the Astor Hotel shows two adjacent film theatres, the Astor and the Capitol, playing We Were Strangers (1949) and Scene of the Crime (1949), both of which premiered in New York City in July 1949. A few minutes later, another view shows the Astor playing Melody Time (1948), and the Criterion across the street playing Easter Parade (1948), both of which premiered in June 1948.

    Claudette Colbert, a star to end all stars!
    Claudette Colbert is the only reason to watch this made for television movie. She looks fabulous and steals every scene she is in. Ann-Margaret, on the other hand, is miscast and chews the scenery up with her hysterics!
