Lana hits the bottle, can't sleep, demands a showdown with Milland's loving wife (Margaret Phillips) and finds she cannot go through with it. Bravely, the lovers...
There is no particular prejudice against an 18-year-old girl who enters a national trapshooting contest. But she is not supposed to win. In the Grand American Trapshoot at Vandalia, Ohio last week, to the utter consternation of a 98% male field, one of them did just that...
