Considered by some to be one of the most literate movies ever made. It certainly contains some of the best acting ever done on film. Everyone does a wonderful job - especially Bette Davis, Anne Baxter, & George Sanders. Marilyn Monroe has a small part & is lovely in it. If you want to see a great vintage classic film with wonderful acting pyrotechnics get this one. The bonus material always gives added incite. A must have.

1950 Studebaker - The 1950 models were Studebaker's most successful in terms of sales.-- Why? What made them popular?
Public reaction is what matters in the auto industry, and "The Next Look" 1950 Studebaker, featuring the company's signature "bullet-nose" look for the first time, was a winner -- more popular than even the 1947. Sales began in August 1949, nearly a month ahead of other 1950 cars.
Hundreds of dealers sent glowing telegrams describing announcement day: "Showroom crowded to capacity." "Public acceptance best ever." "Huge crowds, all agreed Studebaker still leads the way." "A showroom that holds 100 people, needed room for 500!"
