I wouldn't even call it a melodrama (such as "Mildred Pierce" or "Imitation of Life"). Excellently acted, well directed, but strictly within its soap genre. You might call it the ultimate soaper, because the acting so thoroughly triumphs over the material. You will be entertained!However, this is only a blatant soap opera. In fact, all of the acting in this film is excellent.The plot begins with a taxi ride, then an airplane ride, then keeps moving on an emotional ride that will hold your interest throughout. Dorothy Malone did earn a well-deserved Academy Award for her performance. Amazing how he humanizes a rich worthless character. Stack should have received the Academy Award for this performance, period. Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
