This is a rather shocking critical realism work. Wheeler's interpretation of human nature in Capitalist society has reached a ruthless level in this film. After watching this film, you can feel a chill and sadness after the decline of human nature. The film is adapted from Lillian Hellman 's play script, so the scene is very limited and narrow. The film of more than two hours is basically carried out in the room. Due to Wheeler's directing ability and emphasis on photography skills, Grieg was hired. ·Toland came to shoot the film, so although the characters have a lot of dialogue and a single scene, there is no dull feeling. Bette Davis 's outstanding performance brings the heroine's ruthlessness to the fore. The film's best performance is Patricia Russo , who plays Aunt Bertie. Her pain and forbearance are sympathetic, and her emotional outbursts bring tears to her eyes. Her appearance also best reflects the theme of the film

"There are hundreds of our kind in the world, and one day the world will be ours." Damn, Davis is such a bad character, he should be included in the list of "100 villains in movie history"...

Regina Giddens: [about marrying Horace] It didn't take me long to find out my mistake. Then it was just as if I couldn't stand the sight of you. I couldn't bear to have you touch me. I thought you were such a soft weak fool, you were so understanding when I didn't want you near me. The lies and excuses I used to make to you, and you believed them. That was when I began to despise you.
Horace Giddens: [starts looking agitated] Why didn't you leave me?
Regina Giddens: Where was I to go? What money did I have? I didn't think about it much, if I had, I'd have known you'd die before I did. But I couldn't have guessed you'd get heart trouble so early and so bad. I'm lucky Horace. I've always been lucky. I'll be lucky again.
[Horace drops his emergency medicine]
Horace Giddens: The other bottle. Please, upstairs in my room, in the drawer.
[Regina does nothing. Horace stumbles upstairs himself and collapses]
