It's considered a lesser Monroe, but I like it.

One of Marilyn's best, a tawdry Fox melodrama.

Pablo Villaca

Apesar das boas atuações de Joseph Cotten, Jean Peters e da presença marcante de Marilyn Monroe, o filme naufraga graças a um roteiro medíocre e à direção burocrática de Hathaway.

Michael W. Phillips, Jr.

The parts without [Monroe's] luminous presence onscreen are noticeably less interesting than those parts where she was involved.
