I started watching this movie with somewhat low expectations based on comments about the director, the script and blah blah. To be honest it didn't grab me right out of the box, but it it grew on me quickly, especially the sad, lonely and hopeless housewife done so expertly by the lovely Rita Hayworth. Gig Young and Tony Francisco played their part with great expertise as did each actor, which I is a tribute to the director. I ended up having a great appreciation for Clifford Odets' approach and directing skills and don't understand why he was panned at the time. I wish he had gone on with other movies. Overall, it is just an enjoyable drama and is well worth the time to watch.
