Ratings and reviews

The only think he ever did for her was to keep her barefoot and pregnant. This is how, he kept control over her. The only way she thought she could stop the abuse of her and the children was to cut his head off. That didn't even shut him up. He continued to verbally abuse her and tell her she had no talent or worth. In the end, she showed him! She did have talent and was well liked in Hollywood.

An epic movie that touches on multiple social and psychological issues and what is truly right or wrong in 1960's America.

Heard of the movie but first time viewing it. Awesome!
