One of the other reviewers asked, "Why has this movie been so forgotten?"
Because it's BAD. On almost every level. Plain and simple.
My gawd, when I first saw Anne Baxter in this, I thought she was a man in drag. She never was a great actress, but here is the perfect example of why she never was an A-lister. What a ham!
And James Stewart, one of the all-time GREATS -- what in the world was he thinking using that distractingly fake glass eye as a prop? It's a gimmick that wasn't in any way necessary for the role.
I suppose it could've been worse, hence the 3-stars. But don't waste your time...all of the actors involved have made far, far better movies.
