You'll be horrified at how this hokum manipulates you, but the best strategy is to just surrender and enjoy it.

While this device lends more scope, it also results in the overdone busy actress/neglected daughter conflict.

Sirk unleashed a melodramatic torrent of rage at the corrupt core of American life-the unholy trinity of racism, commercialism, and puritanism.
