Sure it would not (and did not) win any awards but watching Miriam Hopkins chew up the scenery is a blast. It's sort of like "Sunset Blvd." meets "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane." It would be interesting to know what possessed Miriam to do it. Maybe she thought this would be HER "Baby Jane" and be as successful for her as WHTBJ was for Bette Davis. Sadly, Miriam probably never got a chance to see it since it never reached theaters until two years after her death. Perhaps it's just as well.
