Meyer Levin (Patterson Murphy) Esquire Magazine The film has some real tantrum scenes, speedy, clipped dialogue, and a "different" quality due to the tangential relationship of the characters and to the high tension acting of Lewis Hayward. Irritating at times. Apr 17, 2020 Full Review Ann Ross Maclean's Magazine Ann Harding as a famous woman psychiatrist who takes advanced dipsomania and suicidal dementia in her stride. Not recommended. Jul 23, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
