There is good soap and corny soap; this film definitely falls into the latter category. Gone With the Wind and West Side Story are good soaps and both have innocents who are sacrificed in the course of events, as this film does. However, the former films have a much higher degree of believability; this film does not. Robert Cummngs, Lizabeth Scott, and Diana Lynn all give worthy performances, but even their best efforts cannot overcome a highly flawed story line. In real life, these sisters would probably never have spoken to each other again after the failed first marriage, much less remain in constant contact. All the ensuing events after the first marriage rang false to me. For soap lovers only; and for those who still believe in the Easter Bunny.
