Neat, orderly microscopic B-picture about a woman who tries to push her husband up the ladder of success only to have it backfire on her. San Francisco newspaper writer Kathy Ferguson (Barbara Stanwyck) meets and speedy marries macho LA detective Bill Doyle (Suitable Hayden) and finds herself plopped down in the middle of suburbia. This is all well and great until she finds her role relegated to the living room with the brainless other wives while the “boys” play poker in the kitchen. Being from a newspaper, she’s veteran to being one of the boys and not one of the “exiguous women”. She finally snaps after one too many of these evenings and starts scheming to disappear her husband up in the department so she can be proud of him and mingle intelligently with the upper crust where she feels they belong. Her plans go beautifully until she runs up against her biggest obstacle, Bill’s boss police chief Raymond Burr. They become end and one night he shows up at Kathy’s while Bill’s away and confides that he needs to retire and is looking for a replacement. Kathy siezes the opportunity to sell Bill as the replacement and commits the ultimate sacrifice via a one-night-stand with Burr thinking she’s cinched the “deal” for Bill. But Burr has other plans—leaving Kathy troubled and guilty over what she’s done. Her next depart will be abolish. Stanwyck always excelled at portraying strong, driven, ambitious women and Kathy is no exception. But the film has an definite feminist slant current for the time. The director and Stanwyck acquire it determined what motivates Kathy and why she she goes over the edge. She loves her husband enough to go all out for him but shiny enough to know that she will attend too. She’s too strong a woman to unbiased sit around and mindlessly gossip over dresses, diets and phony aspirations. Her aspirations are staunch because she knows what she wants for herself and her husband. And it doesn’t include cream cheese and olives. For Stanwyck fans, this is an attractive addition to her gallery of headstrong women with an agenda. It’s not a “substantial” film but it’s fine and worth watching.
This movie might have single-handedly brought on woman’s lib. When middle-aged San Francisco reporter Kathy Ferguson (Barbara Stanwyck) meets hunky middle-aged LA cop (Superior Hayden), she chucks her career for savor. This lands her in the San Fernando Valley in the dining room listening to the unbearably grating chatter of her husband’s cop buddies wives. Naturally, this drives Kathy completely bonkers (If I heard the words “cream cheese and olive” one more time, I might have gone bonkers with her), and she becomes positive to derive her husband to the top at any cost! Naturally, mayhem ensues.
This movie is only saved by the performance given by Barbara Stanwyck. She manages to design Kathy Ferguson a true person; she shows the staunch longing, desire (Barbara eyes Reliable Hayden like the prime slab ‘o beef he is, and makes her intentions very distinct), and smarts this woman has, and how frustration at being sidelined by society can bring out fierce competition in someone (today she’d be called manic-depressive) . What’s funniest about this movie is that it’s so subversive. On the surface, we are supposed to be paralyzed, alarmed I mumble you, that Kathy does what she does in the name of her husband’s career. On the other hand, life in the valley in the 50’s is painted as so soul-destroyingly vapid, you wonder how she managed not to go on a killing spree. A really seldom seen gem that any fan of film noir should check out.
