Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: C+ --
A turgid affair with John Garfield having to choose either socialite Joan Crawford or his bow strings.

Rating: 3.5/5 --
remembered largely for its sublime ability to make Garfield look like a virtuoso violinist

Rating: B- --
Now a days regarded as camp, Jean Negulesco's melodramatic exploration of desire features Joan Crawford at her limited best, but the music played by Isaac Stern and lush score by Franz Waxman offer pleasure, and so do Garfield, the decor and costumes.

Crawford and Haller make it into a dreamy wallow in velvety masochism.

pot-boiler with Crawford chewing up the scenery; Garfield does his best to retain his dignity.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Glamorous socialite Helen Wright (Joan Crawford) takes what she wants -- clothes, alcohol, men -- and uses them up then tosses them aside. Then she meets brilliant young violinist Paul Boray (John Garfield). But this is one toy she can't break. Instead, her love for Paul brings Helen to the breaking point.
