Sorry to be sour; I enjoy older movies, even silly ones, but when they have that grating fingernails-on-chalkboard caricatures that just set-up bad feelings as being funny, then I'm not amused.
It's not much of a spoiler, but the scene early in where Jeff has fallen off his horse, is trying to get back on, and then a car comes around and blast its horn loooong, and then you find out the driver, Grant, is a highly experienced horse owner, it's too unbelievable.
Obvious manipulation of the viewer always tells me that the writer was immature or spent little time on the script. Why waste an entire movie on a weak script? It's filler, and who needs to waste their time that badly?
Stanwyck is good, but gets only shallow lines. None of her brilliant smiles or coy glances that delight me in other pictures.
