frustrating; they kept showing us glimpses of pages of her diary, but just when we start reading a certain page, it starts flipping again.

Looks like Betty Compson did TONS of films, starting early in the silents. Betty Atkinson only made four ?

Picture and sound quality aren't so good, and with that subject matter, it feels like it was made in 1930, rather than 1940. how did this one get past the censors? i guess they "rescued" her before she could do anything too horrible.
