Thoroughly despised Whiteside
I understand what his character was supposed to be however I found the character to be repulsive. The Stanley's were a perfectly nice couple and he did nothing but meddle in their affairs from the moment he tripped himself on their front steps. The character was a complete jerk who treated everyone with contempt and rudeness yet everyone was expected to treat him with kid gloves. How Sarah & John (the maid & butler) thought he was nice is beyond me. Bette Davis' Maggie was wasted and Ann Sheridan's Lorraine was over-the-top. I found it hard to believe Bert was so naive that he didn't know what Lorraine was intending. As for the way Sherry blackmailed Mr. Stanley made me want to slap him senseless.
I've been wanting to see this but now that I have, I wish I hadn't. Davis is still one of my favorites but I'll be skipping this from now on.
