...sister-in-law, who blames him for his wife's death. Seven-year-old Rachel Whitman is most fetching and unaffected as the young daughter. Phyllis Ferguson is completely believable as the sister-in-law, mixing resentment for her toiling and skimping with a warmth and tenderness. James Stinson plays her sympathetic husband with suitable low pressured earnestness. Roger Moldovan is more than effective in the lead, without being over-sentimental. Robert Hesse looks properly drunk and idiotic in the walk-on part, and Lee Jefferies is suberbly plastered as an old love of the hero who intrudes...
