Add a CommentLinda Darnell is fantastic. I spent 2 hrs saturated in this lady. The special feature about her was heart breaking. Great movie.
Interestingly (?), this movie is based on a 1940's novel titled "A Letter to Five Wives."
Don't be put off by the cover, this isn't a sappy 'chick flick'. The acting and writing are top notch. Although no crime is commited (per se), this plays like a whodunnit that you'll be sure to enjoy.
Delightful movie, keeps the suspense till the very end. Should be a classic on everyone's list. THe acting is great, and the story even better!
