Ida Lupino won critical praise for her performance here as a woman with ruthless ambition who manipulates her kid sister’s naiveté and talent to find fame and fortune on Broadway. A classic hardboiled Lupino role, it was an exception to the frustrating experience she had finding acceptable stories under contract at Warner Bros., an experience that lead her to form her own production company in 1949.
