**SPOILERS GALORE**
Don't let the title fool you. Its not a movie about a little girl who was denied a locket and let it effect the rest of her life.
Well, actually that's exactly what it is, but that's only a very small part of this melodrama.
On the day he's getting married, a man is told (through flashbacks) about his fiance's previous marraige, and then through more flashbacks, we meet Robert Mitchum, who she was engaged to. Incredibly, through even more flashbacks (at this point, I thought we'd be treated to seeing Noah gather the animals for the trip), you get to the locket situation.
Movie is not nearly as confusing as I am making it sound and is very well acted. I had never seen and barely heard of Laraine Day (I think she was in a Hitchcock) and she's very appealing. She's kind of a cross between Linda Darnell and Vera Miles, if you can picture that, and doesn't give the slightest hint that's out of her mind. She doesn't play 'crazy' which helps the movie because it leaves you room to doubt her OR everyone else in the movie.
The end is a shame cause its over the top, but I still enjoyed this and would recommend it to anyone. 7/10.
