I did not think I was as invested as I was in this film and in Loretta Young's character...but as she lost it at the end sobbing, I actually shed a tear which was a testament to Loretta young's phenomenal acting.
This is the story of a housewife who's husband is ill and in bed. She is working hard to care for him and take care of their home. The film takes place over the course of one difficult day. Her husband's friend and doctor makes a house call and notes that both husband and wife need to rest...then we see the husband's letter to the district attorney in which he paints a picture of victim claiming that his wife and best friend (his doctor) are trying to kill him.
Through the course of the day Loretta Young slowly breaks down. There is an adorable neighborhood boy and an observant...and it turns out kind neighbor, a disgruntled postman and a concerned aunt.

This is an interesting and psychological suspense film. I enjoyed this more than I expected and it was in large part due to Loretta Young and her very believable performance. I recommend this film especially in today's error of girl on a train and woman across the street from the girl in the window.
