(1934)
2.5
Hans J. Wollstein
Both Barbara Stanwyck and Genevieve Tobin reportedly turned down the chance of playing the "other woman" in this rather tedious melodrama, the role instead going to young Bette Davis, who, perhaps as a reward for courage, is given co-star billing above nominal leading lady Ann Dvorak. Not yet at the top of her game, Davis is rather obvious as the calculating femme fatale and the acting laurels -- the few there are -- instead goes to the always dependable Ann Dvorak as the betrayed wife.
