Decent melodrama about a trial and tribulations of a dress shop owner
3 February 2022
A New Yorker (Jane Wyman) opens a dress shop in Texas and puts business first, over love with a rancher (Charlton Heston).

Typical melodrama that button-eyed Jane Wyman would star in, however her leading man isn't Rock Hudson this time but Charlton Heston - and to be honest he fits the role better as a oil rancher who disdains working girls. He's suitably dour, but Wyman thaws his icy exterior and he falls in love with the her, but he can't change his old-fashioned ways. It's a decent melodrama, a little bit slow and talky and overlong, but all in all a good watch with solid performances from Wyman, Heston and Claire Trevor. If you liked Giant ( Rock Hudson) you might like this one.
