In 1928, young heiress Martha Ivers fails to run off with friend Sam Masterson, and is involved in fatal events. Years later, Sam returns to find Martha the power behind Iverstown and married to "good boy" Walter O'Neil, now district attorney. At first, Sam is more interested in displaced blonde Toni Marachek than in his boyhood friends; but they draw him into a convoluted web of plotting and cross-purposes
I wonder how the movie would be different if Douglas & Heflin played each other's roles? I think Van Heflin could play a good weakling.

@HAZIDEAD Are you talking about Liz's character or Barb's?

@ClassicMovieClub, personally I don't find her that appealing and seductive here. She comes across as weak and desperate - far inferior to the sharp, resolute and attractive Van Heflin.
