It wasn't a bad movie, but it was a typical Joan Crawford movie.
She came across very corny, maybe it was the dialogue, but all I could watch when she was on screen were those eyebrows of hers. Yeowzer! Cliff Robertson's portrayal of a man in philological pain just came across as "whiney", although, he wasn't bad to look at. He was a mighty "hunk" back "in the day" for sure. I've seen both actors in better movies with better dialogue, this was not one of them.
But it was a treat to see ol' "Ben Cartwright" as a dirty old man pawing pretty little Vera Miles. Somehow it was easier to see Vera and Cliff as husband and wife.
