Another director Douglas Sirk's melodrama in this 1956 beautifully realized movie.
Taken for granted and ignored, Cliff (Fred MacMurray) discovers an old flame, Barbara Stanwyck, who worked with him but left 20 years ago as she loved him and saw no future.
There is his eldest son who accidentally sees the two of them at a resort and immediately assumes that something is going on along with his older sister.
Joan Bennett is the caring wife who is wrapped up in her children.
As always, Stanwyck shines here and this time she sheds her potential vicious acting and instead is a wholesome woman who reminds MacMurray that his infatuation with her is a reliving of his past and is something that could never be.
This is pure soap-opera, but beautifully done and the ending holds the high ground of morality and decency.
