Product Description

Video Description

Fate drew them together … and only fate could part them!

Heiress Martha Ivers (Barbara Stanwyck) and Walter O’Neill (Kirk Douglas in his film debut) are hiding a dark secret that has been haunting them since childhood. However, despite their past, things are going very well for them and are highly prominent and respected citizens in town. But could their position of wealth and be under threat from an unexpected source, the return of old friend Sam Masterson (Van Heflin)? The danger is that he knows too much about their past, can they trust him, should they further involve him in their web of deceit and corruption … or should he be added to the list? After all, they have nothing to lose …

Poor quality print 11 Feb 2001
By Tim WC1
Format:DVD
This has the classic elements of an interesting, enjoyable 1940s film noir, with the hero oscillating between two heroines, who appear in moral disguise. Barbara Stanwyck is wonderfully two-faced; Kirk Douglas puts in an amazingly assured first film appearance as her drunk husband; and Miklos Rozsa's score manages to underline the drama at the same time as commenting coolly on it.

BUT this DVD is taken from a very poor quality print, with blurred picture and crackling, hazy sound. I regret buying it, and wish I'd waited for someone to release a digitally remastered version.

when you read the commentary's about this movie, you'll notice how dissapointed people are about the poor print on dvd.

these commentary's are the same for all the prints listed here on amazon, because they correspond to the title only and not to a specific dvd release.

there is one release though wich has a very good quality of image and sound:

look for the cover in blue with a staircase in the left corner. at the top it reads: full screen (paramount dvd) collection.

the title is written in yellow.

you wont be dissapointed with this one.

enjoy !!

Let me start by saying that the film is quite a good one and although is not a masterpiece is quite an enjoyable one. Stanwyck is at her best and as we reach the climax the more interesting the film gets. BUT the DVD is a very poor copy that you don't expect a TV station to show. The brightness changes throughout the film. Every possible thing that can make you say it's a bad copy is here. I don't have any picture that I recorded from TV as bad as this one. And this one is digital!
