acsdoug D @acsdoug Sep 25 The story is not great, but Susan Hayward gives another great performance. See more Fountain B 11/25/2023 Amazing performance from Susan Hayward. Excellent topic, bringing a problem which many, poor and rich, suffer, to the surface. I understood by watching this film that Alcoholism is an illness. I'm very grateful for it, I understand now the struggles some people close to me have gone through. See more deke p 12/22/2021 1947! Susan Hayward, glookn. She a wife gone incorrigibly drunk, lush. Went on & on. I would have left her. But this was 47. Still, she did great acting. Never heard of this ODD sounding movie title. EDDIE ALBERT! in supporting role. Saw it on Movie channel 12.20.2021 SPOILER ALERT: HAPPY ENDING. Cuz the couple got together after she said she'd never drink again after her negligence almost burned her baby alive. See more 03/14/2021 Well, if you liked what Nomadland had to offer--cold desolation, brutal isolation, false promises, hopelessness, terminal illness, humiliation, bad music---then you'll love this. Susan Hayward really knocks 'em down--one after the other, after the other, after the other, ad nauseum. Like Francis McDormand, the lady can act. If only the ladies had a decent story to put their talents to good use. Anyway, it's a long slog, so pour yourself a stiff one. You'll need it, I assure you... See more @Cameron11 08/08/2020 Pretty good film, although somewhat similar to Hayward's other Oscar-nominated performance, I'll Cry Tomorrow (where I believe she gave a better performance). However, Hayward's acting is still pretty good, especially in the famous fight scene against Marsha Hunt's character. The film gives a somewhat interesting take on alcoholism, where both party's are at fault, not just the alcoholic's actions (which is shown in most films). Not a very memorable film, but a well-acted, written and directed piece of filmmaking. Hayward was Oscar-nominated in this role. I have not seen the winner's (Loretta Young) performance and Crawford's performance. However, out of the three performance I have seen for Best Actress from that year, I believe Hayward gave the best performance, followed by Russell for Mourning Becomes Electra and then McGuire for Gentleman's Agreement.
