NO MAN OF HER OWN (FILM)


Directed by Mitchell Leisen

Starring Barbara Stanwyck

USA

1950

Seen on Blu-Ray from box set 'Essential Film Noir Vol. 3' (Imprint)


A pregnant woman adopts the identity of a railroad-crash victim and starts a new life with the woman's wealthy in-laws, but is soon blackmailed by her devious ex.

Melodrama/film noir is full of suspense even though the basic idea is contrived.  Barbara Stanwyck is superb as always.  Twists and turns of the story keep you entertained from start to finish.  Recommended.
