    Viewing a Barbara Stanwyck movie for the first time is fun. Who has a voice like that?! The supporting players headed by First Lady Nancy Reagan was a curiosity. Not at all deep but fun.

    Any movie Barbara Stanwyck is in just HAS to be wonderful. I am a classic film buff and love dramatic films such a this one. This is a story of infidelity at it's best. And it ENDS like it should!!!
