Seeing this movie only for the second time, it was a Joan Crawford movie all the way. John Wayne was in it and I thought that Crawford out acted Duke. She was an excellent choice to play the lead, and the movie left you at the edge of your seat. I am not a Joan Crawford fan and I do not think I have any other movie from her. I have seen a few and I mean a few of her movies.
She was a difficult person to work with. I don't think I ever heard any comments from Duke about her or any of the books I have on him except to say that he worked with her in Reunion in France. I guess that Duke thought that this would build up his career early in his days, but it seems that he didn't do anything with her again or even expressed a desire to do anything with her.
Cheers
