The Great Stanwyck Always Comes Through

No Man Of Her Own I am a huge fan of Barbara Stanwyck. I have seen everything from her earliest pictures like “The Miracle Woman” to her swansong in the perfectly dreadful TV series “The Colbys”. Ms. Stanwyck to me is probably the greatest of the “classic” era actresses. She is fine in this film, masterfully directed by Mitchell Leisen. This film has a compelling story, full of unexpected twists. It also has a fine supporting cast, with Jane Cowl a standout in a sympathetic part as a recently bereaved mother. The film is classic noir with some fine touches in the direction. There is a scene where a character is being wheeled into a hospital surgery filmed from the viewpoint of the person on the gurney. Another great touch comes when Ms. Stanwyck meets up with someone she’d rather not see at a party, and the music playing in the background takes on a wild, almost maniacal tone. I had never heard of this film before, and it’s not out on DVD.
