I know the movie seems harder to follow at first, but if you get past the first minutes, Rosalind Russell fans will be enchanted. it's really not as bad as it starts.

Everybody thought that Rosalind would get an Oscar for this performance, but Loretta Young ("The Farmer's Daughter") was the - absurd - winner!!!

Thank you so much for this film! It is a forgotten gem!

Clumsiest, slowest, worst beginning to a movie ever! It does get better when the story gets started, but sure takes forever to get there.

I just want to thank you so much for uploading "Mourning..".

I'm in Australia, and this film has never appeared here in any form whatsoever since its initial release. It is a movie I have long wanted to see, so many thanks.

I'm not saying I liked it (I didn't!) but at last I have seen it thanks to you!

It hasn't been seen here on TCM, as TCM in Australia is terrible, a very poor relation of TCM in the U.S. Again, I thank you.

Cheers, Roger.

I've read the play. Freaky as heck. Really good, though. Eugene O;Neill is a mad genius XD
