Stunning Debut
If you are a fan, you need to see this film. Linda Darnell is the whole show here. Incredible as it seems, she was just 15 when she made her debut in this film. Playing a small town girl who arrives in the big city to reconnect with an old love, she soon is the toast of the town. Her poise and confidence are that of a seasoned actress. She is in almost every scene, so it's odd that the studio would trust a novice (apparently Loretta Young was the first choice) to carry the entire film. But she does. It's one of her best career performances. For some reason her name does not appear in the opening credits, but she is listed first in the closing credits. Well worth watching if you can find it.
