Too many shortcuts and a questionable finish keeps this ambitious Republic Pictures drama from becoming a truly rewarding film, but there are quality inputs here from well-versed actors. A women's picture where they point the morals very clearly in their direction for heightened emotional effect. Frieda Inescort puts on a very reliable performances even if she is a tad bland. That can be said about the others too. For the shine, or lack of it, was more down to the economic production.
