fresh:
The film is a chilling demonstration of the fact that, in a patriarchal society, when a woman steps outside the home the end result may be disastrous.

All this is good melodrama and fair entertainment, but it is much closer to the waltz-time schmalz of Kathleen Norris than to the fox-trot brass of James M. Cain.

A class feature, showmanly produced by Jerry Wald and tellingly directed by Michael Curtiz.

rotten:
The production, mainly because of Michael Curtiz's direction, is unimaginative and badly hoked-up.
