Argumento
¿Sabías que...?
- CuriosidadesHumphrey Bogart was originally chosen to play Harold Goff. However, Ida Lupino had just finished shooting La pasión ciega (1940) and El último refugio (1940) with Bogart, and they had not gotten along. Lupino protested, and because she was a bigger name than Bogart at the time, she got her way. An angry Bogart shot off a telegram to Jack L. Warner asking, "When did Ida Lupino start casting films at your studio?"
- Pifias(at around 18 mins) Stella is talking to Goff, but not looking at him, and says "You must be a very successful man; you've got a successful attitude." There's an immediate cut to Goff responding, and Stella is is looking directly at his face.
- Citas
Olaf Johnson: She's 37 today. She wants me to go to her birthday party - her 37th birthday... so she says.
Jonah Goodwin: 37! She's fifteen minutes younger than the Roman Empire.

Reseña destacada
In spite of the effort to "open up" what had originally been a play, this drama, like so many other adaptations, remains stagebound and static. Even with imaginative sets, camera work and lighting, the scenes are essentially conversations: two (sometimes three) people talking, each representing a viewpoint in the story's conflict among moralities - scenes that are all but devoid of physical action, unless you count lighting cigarettes as action.
As for the characters themselves, they are largely one-dimensional, and unconvincingly unworldly for big-city people of the late 1930s. I found the Ida Lupino character hardly credible in her inability to resist the lure of small-time thrills promised by a fling with Goff: she does in fact resist him initially, she is gently warned about his likes by her father, with whom she has an excellent relationship, and despite her yearning for something more than what she has, Goff is no different from scores like him that she would have seen come and go over the years.
Lupino and Garfield are cast as "types," resulting in neither having an opportunity to utilize their considerable talents. Eddie Albert, as he so often does, plays an ineffectual nice guy. Aline McMahon is a complaining wife, a role that seems to have no particular function in the story. The honors do indeed go to Thomas Mitchell and John Quaylen, who make the most of characters given an opportunity to weigh things in the balance, change their minds, and act according to their principles. Even so, the "comical" closing scene is out of keeping with the overall mood of the picture.
