That combination of tough and soft is truly strange, but perfect. Though I usually can't stand lace, I also love that dress. I'm sure it's because Stanwyck can make anything look amazing. Thanks for the fun blogathon. I really enjoyed this one.

I love the way you manage to summarize the movie's themes just by following the progression of Stanwyck's hairstyles. Her look in this movie is such a bizarre combination of soft seductiveness and hard as nails. I'm sort of digging that lacy dress where it looks like the collar was trimmed in paper Aubynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00446079492480611898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084289080318419411.post-52346818461364209782013-07-28T14:24:20.581-07:002013-07-28T14:24:20.581-07:00I've been wanting to see this movie for some t...I've been wanting to see this movie for some time, but just haven't had it cross my path yet.

I'd love to see this one - sadly not available in the UK but I keep meaning to get the Forbidden Hollywood box set which includes it, with some other great titles too. Must get on and do so, and then revisit your posting! I hadn't realised John Wayne was in this.
