solid all around

The old lady in the downstairs apartment is the absolute goods. Fine plot device.

Loved the Willie character also.
Gary Merrill was great as the gangster.
Gene Tierney was a bit bland.
Andrews was an underrated actor.

Give Tierney a break. She could barely hold it together then, and was already well into the mental illness that would
haunt her for the rest of her life.

Yes, Merrill recognizes a path to righteous thru the pathology of Andrews. & right away.

Yes, Tierney looked off kilter. Maybe [bennett] ABOVE is right. Did not know that materiel.
