Title: Joan deserved another Oscar for this one---
Product review: Portraying a wealthy woman looking for a purpose in her life, Joan Crawford beautifully acts her role in this one. She finds lonely, dirty Esther Costello, a young girl blind, deaf, and mute from a mental shock during the war. With visions of Helen Keller, Joan unselfishly begins to work with her. At this point her ruthless, although handsome husband, re-enters her life, hoping to cash in on the financial success the Esther Costello funds have been bringing in to help other young people who have suffered as Esther has done. After a morbid rape scene, the unfaithful husband has a just end, but unfortunately it takes Joan, too. What a movie! It is fasinating to watch Joan work. She herself said if she deserved one Academy Award for Mildred Pierce, she deserved two for this one.
