Featured review
I found this to be a very enjoyable melodrama.
The story is about how Joan Fontaine tries to rid herself of a husband and a lover in order to obtain a wealthy Englishman.
Solid performances by the supporting players are outstanding as is the lead performance of Joan Fontaine.
Also great were the costumes and the sets--very impressive and realistic, at least they looked that way to me.
I'm a sucker for these old black and white melodrama mysteries and I found this one to be one of the best ones.
