What a weird one. Starts out as a relatively normal soaper about a nightclub dancer (Joan Crawford) who marries a wealthy farmer, played by Melvyn Douglas. There's all the usual tropes you would expect from a class warfare type of drama. But added to that are some bizarre characterizations from Fay Bainter as Douglas' jealous sister, Robert Young as Douglas' moody brother who is suddenly overcome with lust for Joan, and Margaret Sullavan as Young's poor wife who is the most sympathetic character in the movie until the hysterical climax. Add to this a scene with a dimwitted farm hand trying to force himself on Joan and she punches him out and you've got a pretty overwrought melodrama. Nice cast, and it's definitely interesting, but it's a little hard to take seriously at times. Soap opera fans will probably enjoy it most.
