This acerbic film noir features Barbara Stanwyck in one of her greatest performances...

This overlooked, subversive movie has a strong feminist message and an even stronger Stanwyck performance.
A so-so noir melodrama, that can't overcome its limited script.
Audience Reviews for Crime of Passion
proto-feminist noir with a fantastic stanwyck performance. an ambitious reporter falls for a cop and moves to the suburbs, which soon become her worst nightmare as she sublimates her ambition to further her husband's career. cuz that's what good 50s wives do, right? clever script lacerates the american dream

Super Reviewer
I really liked this movie, Stanwyck was the perfect choice. The only problem is that you can see where the movie is heading pretty quick.
Super Reviewer
Barbara wraps this one up with gusto. Hayden is his usual lump of inertia but Missy pushes him right out of her way to hit us full boar with her visceral intensity. There are a few performers who have brief moments but once Barbara takes center stage they don't stand a chance.
