  1. Old-fashioned moviemaking at its best.
  2. 75
    The film is a soapy melodrama set from about 1936 to 1946 and done with style.
  3. 60
    Their dilemmas are the stuff of dozens of Masterpiece Theater productions, but they're brought to life with a vividness that defies changing mores and cuts to the heart of the ways people justify hurting each other in the name of love.
  4. 25
    Dull and creaky soap opera.
