    Whether its paperback fiction like Lady of Burlesque, or a tear-jerker like Stella Dallas, or the noir-ish suspense of The Strange Love of Martha Ivers, Barbara Stanwyck delivers. I just can't take my eyes off of her. She's never just set dressing, even whe...( read more)n she's silent she speaks volumes. Wow.

    *NOTE: Does anyone else think that Lizabeth Scott looks like a poor man's Lauren Bacall?

    This movie has possibly the most mela-dramatic music ever.

    Acting is solid all round, and the direction is great. Unfortunately the story is the big let down here with a rubbish ending.

    This is less a showcase of Barbara Stanwyck than it is a memorable screen debut for Kirk Douglas. But if you like Stanwyck, this is definitely worth the watch. She can definitely play characters from one end of the complexity spectrum to the other, always with depth. Naughty o...( read more)r nice, she brings everything to the table.

    Stanwyck was great even if the movie wasn't.

    Paranoia, lust, guilt, fear, suspense and intrigue combine in a movie which kept me hooked until the very end. Nice twist too! Definitely worth checking out if you're a Stanwyck fan. She was amazing, as always! Kirk Douglas in his film debut also gives a strong performance.

    As for those who have pointed out the Lizabeth Scott/Lauren Bacall similarities, I must agree!

    I wish I could watch every movie ever made but I sadly don't have the time. I'm not interested in this movie because I don't think I'll like it or don't know enough about it to think I might like it. I may still end up seeing it some day though.

    This movie was okay, it was really long and predictable. The role that Lizabeth Scott played just really annoyed me. I'm not sure if it was her acting or just her, but I know the movie probably whould have been ten times better without her character.

    i like the story of this movie.....{lizabeth scott reminds me of lauren bacall; they have very strong simiiarities}....Stanwyck's performance's A-OK! Van Heflin's also great, & the same with the young Kirk Douglas.
