Generous older woman gives younger man his come-uppance
It's great to see a film about a woman of a certain age (was Ms Crawford 50 at the time?) play a role in which her vulnerability, wealth, and need for love having been exploited by a younger man gets her revenge, sort of. All the parts are well written, and though it's Mills and Boon stuff, it's well acted, directed and shot. A classy B movie so to speak. I enjoyed Ms Crawford in this role almost as much as Johnny Guitar and more so than Mildred Pearce. She makes a meal of it and what a meal it is. Yummy stuff.
