I have not seen this movie in awhile so I do not know if it has aged well, but I remember it being very dramatic and very well acted by a large cast. Richard Brooks movies are always full of great actors & this is no exception. First is Jean Simmons, who received an Oscar nomination for her performance. The supporting cast includes John Forsythe, Nanette Fabray and Shirley Jones. The soundtrack has a song by Barbara Streisand called "What Are You Doing The Rest of Your Life"? which is so great that you can't believe you don't hear it more often.
