I was amazed by this movie, it’s such a gem! Not only it’s a movie directed by the only female director of the era but it’s about a female issue with a strictly female perspective. I completely loved it. I enjoyed the realism of it but also it’s very sympathetic with the subject matter. The ending proves that she doesn’t need to suffer more for this supposed mistake and offers a redemptive alternative. I was pleasantly surprised with the romance too, it felt completely genuine and not like many of the dialogue lines of the time, which I love but you can tell people doesn’t speak like that in real life. A must watch if you’re interested in women in the movie business. Ida Lupino was honestly so iconic.
