Well reviewed here.
Notice the framing (I didn't) in these shots, the window that's ever-present. Is this lighting / composition or is it symbolic?
"In melodrama it's of advantage to have one immovable character (Hudson) against which you can put your more split ones (Wyman).... One of the first of all American literary impacts on my thinking, when I was thirteen or fourteen, was a book my father gave me: 'Walden' by Thoreau. This is ultimately what the film was about... it was like a sun going up over my youth, this strangely clean language.." ('Sirk on Sirk' Jon Halliday.)
Peg Fenwick adapted Edna and Harry Lee's novel. The film was nominated for no awards of any kind.
