As we might expect from producer Sam Goldwyn, this is an extremely well-made women's picture, distinguished by its superb photography (Lee Garmes), and an involving screenplay by F. Hugh Herbert which maintains interest at a reasonably high level. The acting is fine too, the direction adept, the music score pleasing, and the sets well up to Richard Day's usual high standard. The only thing wrong with the movie is that at 93 minutes it simply runs too long and tends to out-stay its welcome. Perhaps in the hands of more charismatic players than Farley Granger and Joan Evans (Natalie Wood and Phyllis Kirk in there pitching too, but their roles are comparatively small), the screenplay would become far more involving and garner more interest? Ann Blyth does what she can with the main role.
