saw this film yesterday for the first time and thoroughly enjoy it . i be a student of screen write and i love the way the minor character intervene just when something pivotal or climatic happen in a scene . i think the dialogue be very sharp and the premise of story be rather shock at one particular point barbara stanwyck be openly flirt with her daughter boyfriend while and rekindle some passion in her husband whom she hasn not see in ten year while and with the gunshot signal two shot and then one she hook up with her old shag mate dutch ( the reason she leave town in the first place . ) all at the same time . the moral majority must have be totally incense when they saw this flick back in the 50 . love the costume and cinematography and the straight from the hip dialogue just to watch barbara stanwyck and co do the bunny hug be good enough reason to rent this film on dvd . one of the best film from that period i have see in a long time .
