40s Drama
Noirish
4 stars
This is the type of movie of which doctoral students are made. A so-called "Woman's Picture" of the immediate post-war era, with a dominant performance by Joan Crawford, and strong support from Dana Andrews and a creepy Henry Fonda. The love triangle, the noirish elements, and the depth and complexity of the characters lend this movie to analysis from all sides. Huzzah, Otto, huzzah!
