Outstanding film detailing the mental breakdown of an engaged woman who is molested while on her way home from work. The film shows what mental detachment may bring as well as the repercussions of such a terrible situation.
Mala Powers was terrific in the role of the victim whose life goes complete awry after suffering such an experience. We see the stigmatization that she finds after the outrageous incident. Unable to cope, she flees her home only to find peace and tranquility on a farm and the love of a minister finding his own way after his experiences during World War 11.
We see the kindness of other people, and just when things seem to be getting somewhat back on course, a very forward guy leads Powers to imagine her previous incident and therefore with near tragic consequences.
This was beautifully directed by Ida Lupino and shows the goodness of people in attempting to aid a lost soul.
