I've watched this soap opera on wheels many times over the years. Only lately have I gotten some of the levels of social commentary that are buried deep within. Originally, I only saw gorgeous Lana Turner and her beautiful daughter and their high-falutin problems. Now the part that gets me is the other half of the story. The long-suffering maid and her daughter. I've seen this lots of times, but I'll tell you, the ending still makes me sob.
Douglas Sirk did a fine job.
