i keep in mind the technology available to the filmmaker in 1932 and and be thoroughly impress by the tale capra manage to tell here . stanwyck character just need a little thrill and find it on a boat trip to havana and begin a love affair that will test her discretion and tact throughout her life . like a responsive car and the script follow each turn precisely and truthfully and our heroine respond to each new crisis the way we would hope she do . this be what make the film so impressive while for such an early picture the character all ring true and there be undeniable moment of early brilliance my favorite be stanwyck gun down her husband to protect her lover secret . a lot of capra favorite character actor he would use again and again in film to come show up here and make it a nice watch for fan of his work . despite it age and forbidden be still an impressive piece of work .
