not a great movie, Ingrid is a little pallid but Susan Hayward is great as a scheming homewrecker.

Very fine classic film, Ingrid Bergman's second American film is a heartwarming tale, wonderfully acted. It is great to see Susan Hayward in an early bitchy role, she's terrific and it's clear why she became a huge star.
