i think crewes do her evil part very well she should have win an award . anything that dunne be in . be salvageable because dunne be a great actress and can pull anything off and even a weak script . therefore i would recommend it for this reason alone . this movie may have be a little ahead of it time and the plot might be more acceptable these day . during the golden age of hollywood movie be mean to entertain or teach and mostly to make u feel good or cope with the time . this plot seem to deviate from that profile . yet and again i must say what ever irene dunne be in and at least and be good because she make thing so believable . the only other actress i can say make me think this way be maybe and deborah kerr . watch silver cord if you get the chance for the acting if nothing else .
