It's a very well-made movie. No wonder, since the legendary writers Faulkner and Kane, as well as director Curtis and composer Steiner were involved in the making of the film.

About the actors, too, can not say a bad word - each of them in its place.

First and foremost, of course, is the performer of the role of Mildred, Joan Crawford. She perfectly personified the image of a woman who had achieved everything by her own labor, who deserved the right to personal happiness, but who, to put it mildly, was unlucky in her surroundings. And in the first place, not even with her life partners, but with her daughter. Such a stunning disclosure of the theme of relations not even fathers and children, but mother and daughter, I've seen only a picture of "The Old Maid" with Bette Davis.

Veda played by Ann Blyth is so mean in her attitude to his mother, so arrogant and unjustifiably egotistical, that while watching me thought that if it was near me - would have used the most radical method of education - force.
