Henry D @Henry_Domke Jul 6, 2026 A very good film, and a very good print, with deep shadows that made it look especially strong in our home theater. Ted McCord’s cinematography was one of the great pleasures, with attractive lighting, fine compositions, and more camera movement than I expected. Folmar Blangsted’s quick editing kept the story moving briskly, so the melodrama never had much time to drag. Sydney Greenstreet was especially good as the villain, corrupt, cruel, and totally convincing. See more Patrisha O. @Patrisha Mar 22, 2026 Realistic dialog...for its time. Sidney Greenstreet is worth the watch in itself. See more Sarah C @RT20213720 Mar 4, 2024 It's just that I don't like Joan Crawford and her counterpart se I can't watch the movie. See more Steve D @RT35616104 Jan 21, 2024 Quite entertaining thanks to the great cast. See more Andy F @RT81936104 Jun 6, 2023 A super melodrama, even though it's hard to see Joan Crawford as a siren! See more stu b @RT12689018 Nov 15, 2021 Political shenanigans and corruption in a small Southern town. Joan Crawford--on the cusp of what was arguably her last great decade in film--stars as a dancer at a traveling carnival who falls for the local deputy sheriff, played by Zachary Scott. When his boss, Sydney Greenstreet (malevolent as always), learns of their relationship he chases Crawford out of town; he plans to groom his deputy for a seat in the U.S. Senate and doesn't want some dewy-eyed floozy getting in the way. Crawford and Scott are fine--as is David Brian, a rival mover-and-shaker also in love with Joan--but the whole thing is a bit too soapy, a tad too melodramatic. For Crawford fans only.
