possess be good for the performance of joan crawford a louise and a nurse who fall in love for a sadistic and self center david ( van heflin ) . some reviewer say that it joan best performance and and she sure do good thing and but it hard to believe a woman would fall in love so madly for a man who find such visible fun in despise her completely and and the plot be always menace by an overdose of kitsch . the photography be marvelous and the movie show many sign of the talent of the director and curtis bernardt and but be there too many psychiatric explanation and they spoil the whole and leave little for the imagination of the spectator . theyre the bad default in the whole movie .
