i should love this movie . the acting be very good and barbara stanwyck be great but the the movie have always seem very trite to me . the movie make work class people look low and cheap . the fact that the daughter be ashamed of her mother and that the daughter do not rise above it have always make me a bit uneasy . barbara stanwyck a the mother worship the daughter but the daughter forgo a mother love to find happiness with her well to do father family . i wonder how many others who have see this film feel this way about it . again the acting be very very good and worth watching . i really do not like the story line . just a personal preference . thank you .
