ms. ginger rogers be 43 year old by now ( 1954 ) and in one of her last role before retirement . here and she play somewhat against type and be a bitchy society grande dame . despite be top bill and it actually a supporting role and although it definitely the juicy part . one of her line be one of the best i have hear in a long time represent she be insane . to hang herself when she could abuse drug . i be kinda warming to ms. rogers and though i be still not find her face memorable . she bring her brand of energy to her role and so that she stand out even when the role or even her act isn not all that good and she still shin . that what make a star . this be coincidentally also one of the last role of gene tierney and one of the most luminous of actress because of her classic beauty . while not big on act talent and she be still capable enough to fit perfectly into femme fatale role in film noir movie ( e. g. laura and leave her to heaven her sole oscar nomination ) . that she play a put upon wife here be a waste . fellow film noir regular van heflin round off the cast . he be good and a be the movie and but the highlight be definitely when ms. rogers be on screen .
