Leonard Maltin presents Rare Treats from the Vaults of Universal Pictures! Esteemed critic, film historian, and author Leonard Maltin will join us in person, schedule permitting, to discuss!
From Leonard: Margaret Sullavan’s screen debut is a quintessential soap opera strong soap-opera vehicle directed by John M. Stahl (who made BACK STREET and other soaps later remade by Douglas Sirk). Keep a box of tissues handy, as John Boles deserts Sullavan after impregnating her—then doesn’t remember who she is when they meet again years later. A top-notch supporting cast includes Billie Burke, best remembered as Glinda the Good Witch in THE WIZARD OF OZ.
