A Turd

This film has cold-hearted Gene Tierney watching imperiously as her crippled brother-in-law drowns in a lake; outside of this crafty, deliciously mean-spirited scene, there's nothing to recommend here. I call this genre "Hollywood discovers Freud"--and here some hacks maul the Electra Complex and manage to make a turgid, senseless movie that drags on painfully for two hours. The acting is wooden as any I've seen in a Lassie episode, the dialogue is foolish, and the audience is asked to believe that a DA (Vincent Price) who was jilted by Tierney's character would be allowed to prosecute a case invovling his former fiancee. A catastrophically awful film.
