Here's a nice little movie that seems to have lapsed into a partial obscurity despite its most attractive cast headed by the super-lovely Anne Baxter and the always convincing John Hodiak. The support roster, headed by Charles Winninger, features some of my favorite players, including Anne Revere, Chill Wills and Jane Darwell.
While the screenplay always offers top entertainment, it's true to say that the story is somewhat unusual. To me, that's an advantage. Critics like me get sick of seeing the same old plot with the same old variations time after time after time.
In addition to its fine acting, this movie is beautifully photographed by Joe MacDonald and very capably directed by the always reliable Lloyd Bacon. And I especially enjoyed Edward Powell's orchestral arrangements, particularly of "I'll See You In My Dreams".
