      Mordaunt Hall New York Times Mr. Brook acts with his usual restraint. Miss Loftus is capital as the sinister Cornelia. Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 31, 2012 Full Review Variety Staff Variety An excellent piece of work in taking a legendary meller play and transposing it into a screen drama of strength and charm. Jan 31, 2012 Full Review TV Guide Good cast rises above the extravagantly emotional and sentimental material. Rated: 2/4 Jan 31, 2012 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Ann Hardin gives a solid performance in this melodrama about a woman who goes blind after being deserted.

      Louisa E This had a real Rebecca feel to it. I enjoyed the plot; it was a bit melodramatic at times, but I think that is a good genre. I didn't guess the ending, which is always a plus. It was unrealistic but entertaining and well portrayed. The acting was quite good, and I think Ann Harding was spectacular. Overall, there was quality with the cast. The music was good and was used well to portray emotional conflict and plot points. The cinematography, set design, and costumes were quite good, but unfortunately, due to the film being perished, it was hard to see much in great detail. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/08/23 Full Review Steve D far too over the top ans I love Harding.
