Any one of the the following actresses (Pat Crowley contemporaries) would have been better than than Pat Crowley:
Mona Freeman Nancy Olson Ella Raines Ann Blyth Ann Baxter Maggie McNamara
Especially Nancy Olson, who had excellent chemistry with William Holden.
That aside, the film suffers from incredulity: it takes the players the full extent of the drama to figure out that Ginger should suck it up and play the mother.
In All About Eve (1950)--referred to in many User Reviews of this film--there is no such lack of logic or coherence that keeps the viewer asking him/her self, "When are they going to figure it out?" This is too bad because while we're waiting for the charterers to figure it out, we're are exposed to many minutes of Pat Crowley screen time.
It seems I'm not only reviewer to be critical of Pat.
