I didn't have high hopes for this film, in part because I've never been very impressed by Barry Sullivan. However, although this is not one of the great Bette Davis films, this is a very fine movie.
There isn't much of a supporting cast that will impress you, although they all do fine. Otto Kruger is always excellent, however, and although his role as a divorce lawyer here is not large, it's a pleasure seeing him.
Bette Davis is excellent here. Not beautiful as she was in her younger years, not homely as she was in her latter years. Here she is just right as a middle-aged woman whose marriage falls apart. And while there is blame to go around, it is the Davis character who is most responsible for the demise of the marriage, and by the end of the film, she realizes it.
Barry Sullivan, is also excellent here. Perhaps I underestimated him.
This is well worth watching, and perhaps, will end up on your DVD shelf.
