Silver, Ward, Ursini, Porfirio, p. 72: “Its characters — subtly graded, complex creations that are never wholly one thing or another — transform the plot’s eternal triangle.”

These photos include a behind-the-scenes image of director Lang with Stanwyck as makeup is being applied. Code numbers: CBN-6, 18, 19, 38, 39, 43, 46, 48, 59, 61, 68, 72, 75, 92, 98, 99, 106, 113, 123, 126 (one photo is uncoded).
