I had to get up at 3:30 a.m. to take my friend to work. Then, around 4:15, I turned on the television, thinking it would help me get back to sleep. It didn't. There was an old Joan Crawford film on TCM, and I became fascinated.
At the point where I came in, Louise (the Joan character) was confronted by Dean Graham (Raymond Massey), who was unhappy about her having been out when his wife, Pauline, threw another tantrum. Louise is a nurse hired to take care of Pauline (whom we never see). It's Louise's day off, but she goes upstairs and takes some guff from Pauline. I don't know why I didn't turn off the television right then.
Louise is in love with David (Van Heflin). He has fallen out of love with her, but she can't accept that. She keeps on chasing him, even after she has killed Pauline - or thinks she has - and married Dean. David, meanwhile, is courting Dean's teenage daughter, Carol. This makes Louise furious, because she still wants David for herself. That's why she married Dean. Does this make any sense? It goes on and on like that. Every once in a while, she will go to a psychiatrist. But then she keeps on doing crazy things....
