barbara stanwyck give this early douglas sirk direct and universal produce soap just the kick that it need . not nearly as memorable a sirk later melodrama and it easy to see by watch all i desire where sirk would be head artistically in the next few year . stanwyck be a showgirl who return to her family in smalltown and u. s. a and after desert them a decade earlier . her family and community have mix emotion in deal with her shock return . some of the cinematography be amazing and and stanwyck be tough a nail and really give this film a shot of energy . overall and a fairly good show .
