The Hadley family's facade of wealth and power begins to crumble as secrets are unearthed, betrayals come to light, and tragedy strikes. Douglas Sirk's delightful melodrama delivers a healthy serving of unrequited love, betrayal, and moral decay. Dorothy Malone won an Academy Award for her tragic performance. Based on Robert Wilder's 1946 novel.
