Thank you, Michelle. I haven't seen it either, but now I may too since it's the only film in Oscar history to receive four female acting nominations (2 Best Actress and 2 Supporting Actress). Sad to say none of them won the Oscar; but with Bette Davis, Ann Baxter, Celeste Holm (and even a young Marilyn Monroe) the movie has to be good!
