the basic plot in this movie isn not bad . a lady make it big and come back to her alma mater to be adore . but and despite good acting by robert young and eve arden and the movie be a mess . the blame for this i place on either joan crawford or the director or both and a her performance be just awful . instead of be a real person and she do a wonderful impersonation of a deer caught in the headlight . in other word and she star off into space and have a golly i be soooo stunned expression . after just a few minute it really become annoy for me . now this be certainly not the only crawford film i dislike for her performance and a she have do more than her share of overact in film such a johnny guitar or many of her late film and such a berserk . my advice be to try a different crawford film there certainly be good .
