I absolutely love this movie. It's everything it's supposed to be in a superb Sirk film. Melodramatic, tear jerking, gorgeous clothes worn by Lana Turner and a magnificent acting job by Juanita Moore. The theme is very important to the time it was filmed and is handled with grace and dignity. Trying to put it into today's political landscape is ridiculous and shouldn't be done. Overall a fabulous movie and one they don't make anymore.
