Storyline: Sorry - the movie opens when Fallon's Father has died, preparing to preach his Sunday sermon. Florence steps up to the pulpit in tears and decries the congregation as hypocrites. This is one of the best moments of Stanwyck's early films as she literally drives them out of the church with her anger and passion. It's that passion that huckster Horsby picks up on. Stanwyck fans should see this at least once.
