Richard Brody The New Yorker Walsh, a cinematic poet of brassy urbanity, stokes the story’s volatile elements... to a crescendo of abraded grandeur. Jun 20, 2022 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy There’s an awful lot happening in this movie, but that’s part of its delirious appeal. Rated: 3/4 Jun 30, 2024 Full Review Ian Thomas Malone ianthomasmalone.com Walsh’s feature is a train wreck of unnecessary subplots entirely redeemed by Lupino’s mesmerizing performance and the highly effective jazz score. Jul 28, 2022 Full Review Michael E. Grost Classic Film and Television Fascinating mix of romantic soap opera, jazz musical and film noir motifs. Jan 31, 2010 Full Review Sean Axmaker Seanax.com ... a refreshingly mature film rich with stories of frustrated lives, unrequited loves and tough times just getting by in the world without selling your soul. Aug 13, 2009 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Except for Ida Lupino's feisty performance as a tortured woman in love who tries to help her family, the acting was weak. Rated: C Sep 4, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews

nick s Solid performances from the cast, lead by Ida Lupino. Some good jazzy numbers if you like that sort of thing. The story had several threads to follow and sometimes it was hard to maintain interest in the side plots. But it finished well. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/12/24 Full Review acsdoug D The story and dialog are a bit weak. I did like the ending, the title song and Ida Lupino, but it's just not that good of a movie. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/11/24 Full Review Audience Member Don't know what director Raoul Walsh did to illicit so many engrossing performances but it sure is cool to watch. The story is uneven but worthy of your attention if you like a woman's melodrama with some noir elements. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
