Greer Garson is caught between three men; her cool but tightly wound, and condescending husband Flynn, her niece Janet Lee's swain, Robert Young, and the niece's bohemian artist father, Walter Pidgeon.
For me, Young is a weak link in this Quadrangle. His Character, a young architect, becomes in this script, an opportunist and a cad. He's not worthy of either Greer or Janet's love He loses sympathy here when he threatens to reveal his desire for Garson at the Niece's engagement party.
Garson is fine in this, so is Pidgeon. But Flynn is the revelation. As in his final features, Roots of Heaven, and Sun Also Rises, Flynn demonstrates his abilities as far beyond Swashbuckling.
