Review of Dark Corner

Tuesday Weld always plays beautiful women whose beauty has made them needy and manipulative. Even as late as the 1990s, in FALLING DOWN she plays the manipulative, formerly beautiful wife of the principal cop (Robert Duvall). "It's not easy to see your beauty go when that's all you had," Duvall explains to his fellow cop. In real life, she (Weld) was equally needy because her father died when she was young and she had to support her family boy modeling and acting. She began drinking when she was ten years old attempted suicide when she was 12.

Here she plays an early variant, a beautiful blind girl who constantly tests her family's love for her by deliberately complicating their lives.
