No one had been to the cape since it had snowed.,Mary Angelus: Want to tell me where you're going, so I'll have something to lie about?,Featured in AFI Life Achievement Award: AFI Life Achievement Award: A Tribute to Henry Fonda (1978),This one may seem quite turgid to a modern audience's sensibilities but, for its time, it was fairly strong stuff, with solid performances by its three leads, Crawford, Fonda and Andrews, under Otto Preminger's brisk direction. Dana, who never really achieved the recognition he deserved for the subtlety of his work, in an extremely difficult role, gives it all the shadings one could wish for. Nice production values and one of the talented David Raksin's best scores enhance a very watchable story with an outcome that isn't as predictable as it seems, come the final clinch.,
