A lot of Joan Crawford titles are the actual characters she plays such as SADIE McKEE, LETTY LYNTON, MILDRED PIERCE, HARRIET CRAIG and this one. Made in 1947, two years after she won the Oscar for MILDRED and during a period where she was making some of her best films at Warners (she was loaned to Fox for this). However, this is one of the weaker ones during that time, but not a bad one. It's a typical, glossy soap opera with Joan in a love triangle with married lawyer (Andrews) & soldier (Fonda). It's rather predictable and drags towards the end, but Joan gives a good, solid performance. 2.5 out of 4.
