Just a little too ungainly, too jumbled at the end, for me to recommend, but it has heart, and I feel a lot of affection for it.

The movie, which could have been historically intriguing, ends up more of a generic soap opera.

The Scoundrel's Wife looks great and Pitre fills the film with solid performances all around.

Nicely made, decent acting and a good story. The period detail is so-so - it could have been better. The Louisiana setting is a plus, it adds flavor to the film. Better than average movie.
