I am a Crawford fan, and also enjoy old B&W movies.  But this is just so boring to watch, and you wonder why they bothered going on location to Catalina Island - all you mostly see is the stage stuff anyway.  The film apparently got bad reviews when it was first released, and Crawford herself said if she could have re-done it, she would have as the overall film lacked spark -she also referred to her own acting as too over the top.  This is one of her worst films in my opinion, yet it was one of the first they released on DVD.  Why not release the good ones first - like Mildred Pierce?  What's wrong with movie companies? The quality of this DVD is also really bad despite my copy saying "Digitally remastered from the original print". It was so poor that it kept fading in and out.  For the collectors of oldies only.  Sorry the review could not be more positive, but  i don't want you wasting money on a bad product.
