      Steve D Resolves too easily but entertaining. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Creaky antique would be completely forgotten if it had not served as Barbara Stanwyck's leading lady screen debut. She is hypnotic, beautiful and intense but everybody else is absolutely awful. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member well written and acted. unusually rich and fairly surprising characters and plot. even appealingly antiquated.
