Is it just me?
I saw this as a first run film in 1944, have seen it on TV and watched it on DVD last night. There has been something about it that has always bothered me. If Rusty could get ahead by becoming a cover girl and, because of jealousy and insecurity, Danny closes his "joint", why does everyone blame her for succeeding and not blame Danny for being petty? Growing up when I did I realize that in the 1940s women were supposed to be quiet and complacent housewives with no ambition outside the home and kids, but it still seemed unfair to put all the blame on her.
