Review of Stella Dallas (1925) by Sv G — 07 Sep 2010
Arguably Stanwyck's greatest performance as a woman who marries up into a better way of life, but finds after-all she can only be happy being herself and who she really is. She soon finds her "common" ways however disappoint her husband and this not only puts a seperation between them but risks seperating her and their growing daughter that she dearly loves played nicely by Anne Shirley.
She comforts herself in the company of a kindred spirit played perfectly by Alan Hale. A tear-jerker ending, a very good story and nice directed by King Vidor. A classic film must see.
