    At first i though it was overrated but after the rewatch i saw why people love it. You can definitely see it was produced to appeal to the masses so it has Hollywood all over the place, however this doesn't necessarily make it bad. The plot was really good and the performances were great, Borgart and Bergman were a great cast, both actors gave an excellent emotional charge to the film.

    Besides, Ingrid is my biggest crush of the era.

    This is not an overrated film and i think this deserves the place it has. Contrary to the case of Citizen Kane which was a brilliant picture but most people go way too far by calling the greatest of all time always. It isn't even the best of the 40's in my opinion.
