Director David Lowell Rich, a television director, helms it as if to make it as archaic, sudsy and corny as humanly possible.

Lana Turner's stinker to remember.

Maclean's Magazine
Completed the same year as the star's first face-lift, Madame X viciously spans two dozen years, inspiring one gossip columnist of the time to joke that Constance Bennett looked younger without makeup than Turner did with it.

City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul
worth watching for the fine cast of performers but the story is tiresome. There is no respite from all the suffering Holly has to go through and that made me feel exhausted by the end of that 1 hour and 40 minute journey.

Out of the Past
Description by OLDIES.com:
Beautiful Jacqueline Floriot deserts her family for an illicit affair. Betrayed by love and scorned by her husband, she descends into a life of depravity. Years later she murders a brute who plans to reveal her past ...and is defended by a young lawyer she does not know is her own son. Double the heartache is yours in these two versions of the classic story of a woman's virtue lost and a mother's devotion found. The 1929 version, starring Ruth Chatterton, is directed by Lionel Barrymore (both earned Academy Award nominations for their work). Gladys George stars in the 1937 version, directed by Sam Wood, whose resume extends from the sublime (Goodbye, Mr. Chips) to the sublimely ridiculous (A Night at the Opera, A Day at the Races).
