Note that Hollywood star Ida Lupino had much success in the 1930s and 1940s, but she then turned to directing, and she made some excellent B-movies, including this one. Had she been given bigger budgets, she might have made some real masterpieces! Note that this movie has an artificial "happy ending" that was forced on the female, similar to the situation that existed with Orson Welles and The Magnificent Ambersons!
