I know this is supposed to be an all-time classic, but for me it was just an overly wrought super sudser. This must be the flick from which all major soap clichés got their start. I can imagine if I was a 16 year old dopey girl, I might find this movie deep and meaningful. As a 45 year old woman, I just want to groan.
I'm sure audiences at the time lapped this up (as many still do today with this flick), and it's flicks like this that kept Bette Davis on top. See it for the pop cultural value ("Let's not ask for the moon, we have the stars") but don't expect anything great or life-altering. . . . . . . 4/10
