Except for unnecessary fourth wall breaks by Tracy's character (would have been more effective as voiceover), this is a terrific and entertaining drama with stellar performances by Tracy, Kerr, and Hunter. Great atmosphere and director Cukor touches in telling the tale of a father's bonkers love for his son at all costs. Tracy is so natural and slips into his slimeball role effortlessly; Kerr is tremendous in her arc that starts her off as a plain innocent newlywed through her tragic alcoholic demise (that osteoporosis touch is genius). Ian Hunter as the faithful smitten doctor throws off pitch-perfect looks and lines throughout. A don't-miss drama.
