i just saw this today and also thanks to tcm . it be well paced and very believable and keep my interest throughout . stanwyck and merrill and sander be all superb and a be the minor role well play . barbara be one of my very favorite actress and always bring professionalism and passion to the role she play . you just imagine her with a backbone of steel and a perfect feminist heroine and most especially in her late role . there be not a wasted moment in this film and and i particularly like the first scene with the windy backdrop and add an air of forebode to what be unfold . no one play a villain good than george sander and and he give his usual splendid portrayal in this film .
