Here's loony tunes Joanie being all "I love you" to Van Heflin who is being all "get lost" and she just can't let go....ever....I just watched "The Two Mrs. Carrolls" where Bogart plays a murderous psychopath so this movie was appropriate. Whereas Bogie ends up killing one wife and almost another, here we have Joanie in love with one man( Heflin) and marrying another after she confesses to killing his first wife...or did she...or maybe not...oh, well, she's nuts so we don't really know. Whenever she's is around Heflin each time he shows up in the flick, she goes into uber overdrive schitzo. Finally she does go off the deep end and murders Heflin as he is about to go off to marry her husbands daughter. Ouch. So somehow she manages to make it from back east to L.A. then to the hospital Psych ward, where we do all these flashbacks. Finally, alls well that ends stupid and its THE END. The movie has more holes than a sieve but whenever Joanie goes ga-ga her close-up are worth the price of admission.
