Curtiz directed this at 73 ?
wow, hope i'm still that active at 73. he made a couple more after this, and died in 1962; Ladd only made a couple more after this, and died in 1964, but that's a different story. C Jones also died young at 53... almost a curse going on here.
several viewers have commented on how C. Jones looks and acts like a young Bette Davis, and i'll second that. boy, that's a tight sweater she has on at the beginning. viewers may know her from the Addams Family, or as Mrs. Aaron Spelling.
