I was delighted to find another Bette Davis movie that I hadn't seen. I loved the goodness of the women in the story. I thought the acting was excellent. The movie highlighted the dilemmas women can face when they operate with genuine love and self-sacrifice as a motive. I noticed that the two young wives looked remarkably alike, and I wondered if it were by design.I get that the story might be a bit of a stretch, but truth is no stranger than fiction, and the story was plausible for me. I would watch this movie again in time. I enjoyed seeing such a young Bette Davis and Henry Fonda. One thing I especially enjoyed about the movie is that it was operating in the social conscience of the time.
