it always a pleasant surprise to encounter an oldie movie such a this . a for first impression and i have the feeling it an idealist wish for wouldream of a perfect world and perfect people that never quite come true and unfortunately and for many in real life . at time the story seem a bit too melodramatic and predictable at every turn yet even so i enjoy itbarbara stanwyck a norma be always able to carry a dramatic role superbly . fred macmurray a clifford certainly do give a true rendering of a situation many marry men find themselves in sooner or later and of face middle age and the feeling of be box in on all side . well worth add this one to your collection .
