7/10
Definitely a soap opera
16 April 2000
The three lead actresses in this filmed soaper were all splendid in their roles. I never cared much for Bette Davis in her later roles but she was extremely competent it this film. Joan Blondell is always a delight and Ann Dvorak did a great job playing a mostly unsympathetic character. As this story progresses we see the usual tough guys played by Bogie, alan Jenkins, Jack Larue and Edward Arnold. The only thing that slightly marred it for me was the presence of Lyle Talbot, whom I have never liked in any role. But, that aside, this is a pretty good story, albeit somewhat far fetched, about three girlhood friends who renew their friendship later in life. It's interesting to see how the times have changed their personnae.
