"First his brother, and now his son..." We think we know what happened at the end but the disc buggered up in the last 15 minutes. Jo Swerling adapted Ben Ames Williams' lurid novel to become a glossy melodrama for Fox. Gene Tierney is the beautiful psycho bitch who murders her husband's brother and eliminates her own child. It's quite a lot of fun.
With Cornel Wilde, Jeanne Crain (A Letter to Three Wives), Vincent Price, Mary Philips, Ray Collins, Gene Lockhart, Chill Wills. Won Oscar for Leon Shamroy's cinematography (art direction also nominated); scored by Alfred Newman.
