I think that this is possibly Ruth Chatterton's best performance -- she really knocked it out of the park. Huston and Astor were excellent, too, but Chatterton just stole the show for me.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06493001808546059821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3196652593714152340.post-64663991422606505092024-01-25T21:18:28.162-06:002024-01-25T21:18:28.162-06:00Looking forward to revisiting this.

It certainly shows Celia Johnson's versatility as an actress, and as always, John Mills is a standout.
