another in the they do not make em like that category . this story of a family with some real skeleton in it closet still qualify a good clean and sometimes over the top fun . robert stack and dorothy malone be at their peak a the troubled hadley sibling and and they really take the role and ran with them . malone win an oscar and stack be nominate in the supporting category and both honor be eminently well deserve . they counterbalance the somewhat bland lead . neither bacall nor hudson could ever be call bad actor and but they have both have good part and play them far more convincingly than they do here . it kind of hard for me to accept rock hudson play such a red blooded heterosexual a he do here and but that more of a personal bias than anything else . but that doesn not take away from the movie overall entertainment value and which be considerable and this movie be extremely watchable . if youre up some night and this movie come on i would say watch it . it well worth it .
