Cult actress Kitty Winn also makes an impression within this film. Stanwyck is very good and the script affords great and sharp dialogue all around with clearly delineated, interesting, and plausible idiosyncratic characterization differentiations. Nice Lewtonesque atmosphere in places, too.

I've got to be honest and say I've never been the biggest fan of Linda Evans, but the very real emotion shown in that tribute clip by both her and Barbara Stanwyck is truly touching.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing that, Rich.

It is sort of fascinating to watch Stanwyck find these reserves of emotion and strength even when she has to spout some rather simplistic dialogue. Although Heston has it worse in the <i>Dynasty</i> clip, having to bear the brunt of all that exposition ("Just because he married Blake Carrington's daughter"). The <i>Colbys</i> video just makes me sad because she looks so frail. Stanwyck looked so healthy and tough for so long that it always shocks me to see her in those last few years.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing thoughts on Stanwyck's foray into the TV soaps. Even if she herself didn't get much pleasure out of it, audiences certainly did. Wonderful job, Rich!Aubynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00446079492480611898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189120682398421108.post-34233167616875569432013-07-17T19:46:16.430-04:002013-07-17T19:46:16.430-04:00I only wish I knew who she was then so I could'...I only wish I knew who she was then so I could've appreciated her better.Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376065182154885503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189120682398421108.post-45503113426953408222013-07-17T19:31:54.996-04:002013-07-17T19:31:54.996-04:00Oh, such great memories of Dynasty & The Colby...Oh, such great memories of Dynasty & The Colbys!
