I caught this by accident on TCM and wow - I was just blown away!!! It amazes me how completely Barbara Stanwyck dominates every scene she is in, regardless of dialog or camera angle. I loved everything about this film, and not least that it was in B&W - which made the early 20th century setting just that hair more believable. I had never seen Richard Carlson before and thought he did a wonderful job. Although some may quibble that the ending is phony or forced on by studio heads, I actually thought it comes across today as quite radical and showing a maturity rarely seen from Hollywood in the 50's.
