Very well-done melodrama about teenage Gail, in love with gorgeous Farley Granger - but her younger sister Joan is mad about the boy too (and does her very best to try and steal the guy away from her sis). When Joan accidentally stumbles upon a big family secret - that Gail was actually adopted but never told - the green-eyed monster is set loose, and Joan spills the beans causing her sister to seek a meeting with her birth mother.
Interesting story and excellent performances all around, particularly by Ann Blyth who plays Gail, make this film a winner. Ann Dvorak appears in a small part here as the birth mother, and her performance is both touching and quite memorable. Plus, watch for a young Natalie Wood who appears in this as the girl's pesky, chatterbox littlest sister. An absorbing film, well worth seeing.
