A thought-provoking, emotional, melodramatic, ‘Peyton Place’-like film with a turn-of-the-century, small-town setting that reveals evil, sadism, cruelty, and depravity. Directed by Sam Wood and with James Wong Howe’s cinematography and Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s magnificently rich score, the tragic Warner Bros. film presents a compelling, penetrating and difficult story with eloquence and power.
