      Audience Reviews for A Life of Her Own

      • Jan 08, 2022
        Lana Turner is brilliant as a successful, but lonely, woman having an affair with a married man. The adultery is further complicated by the health condition of the man's wife. Director George Cukor handles it all with smooth sensitivity.
