The psychological drama is dated and simplistic in the analysis of the depression suffered by Allysion. But the dance scene with Walter Pigeon and Claudette Colbert is classic, both humorous and very real. Both are such hams and obviously enjoyed making fun of themselves.
The piano was excellent, classical piano goes well with deranged minds. In a way it was reminiscent of Rebecca.
The use of flash backs was done nicely, integrating the story. Colbert is ageless as always, playing both the young stepmother and the older widow.
The movie gave a very real depiction of how an enabling wife struggles with an alcoholic husband.
