According to the Chinese,if you save someone's life,you are responsible for him forever ; stepmom Leah , who became disabled in a wheelchair,after rescuing her stepchildren from drowning, takes the wise proverb to its extreme limits : "your band of slaves' shouts the doctor in love with one of them ,mentioning the horoscope of the sign of the Ram ,the ominous last sentence will be heard to conclude the tragedy .
This is an excellent melodrama ,with a great performance by Susan Peters, who does not want her stepchildren to leave the family nest ,and who do all she can to make them break up with their lovers ;her selfishness knows no bounds , abetted by an old gossip lady (the mischievous Dame May Whitty)
Best scene : overjoyed , Leah plays the piano triumphantly,almost aggressively after her "victory" .
