A time capsule

This film was...surprisingly sophisticated and a decent female-centric melodrama for its time. It's pretty dramatic due to character decision-making and I know some things would seem like not a big deal in today's age — which is why I see this as more of a time capsule film. It was cool to see what story-writing focused on in 1960.

There are some annoyingly convenient plot developments (i.e. secrets being revealed because "she's sick and hallucinating!"), some narration that was so weirdly judgmental it took me out of it, some instances of cringy over-acting, and an ending that feels a bit superfluous, but it held up surprisingly well.
