It is difficult to understand why the credits did not acknowledge the strong connection with Somerset Maughns The Letter.This of course was a vastly superior film starring Bette Davis.So when you watch this all you can do is to compare Judy Bowler unfavourable with her.Despite the fact that the earlier film lacks the sexual explicitness of this film and that it has an ending dictated by the Hays Office it is superior on every level.Even then you can say that it means this film ending on a dramatic note whereas this just ends like a damp squid.The fact that this film was shot on location does not really benefit it much.Little surprise that this film is totally forgotten.
