Trivia:
Joan Crawford specifically asked for Margaret Sullavan to play the role of Judy, despite Louis B. Mayer's warning that the accomplished stage actress could steal the picture from her. Joan replied "I'd rather be a supporting player in a good picture than the star of a bad one." moreQuotes:

Although not the most exciting film, this soap opera is one of the 1930's most intelligent films. Crawford, Bainter and Sullivan are riviting in their respective roles. Crawford's stock-in-trade intelligent line readings are never more clearly outlined than in this film.
