Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member a well-told story about family ties and marriage, three sisters and their problems in building a new family. incredible that even though flynn and davis hated each other, they have always formed one of the most beautiful and with most chemistry couples from hollywood's history. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member The troubles of three sisters over a four year period, Bette has the most problems of course. Well made, the earthquake scene is most impressive, and acted. Flynn is at the peak of his attractiveness and the turn of the century fashions suit Bette. Susan Hayward has a wordless bit as a telephone operator. A good show. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
