Lizabeth Scott, as the girl on parole, has some pretty silly-sounding lines, and her performance generally lacks conviction, a circumstance that finds the author responsible, too, since the character is poorly written.The Paramount's stage show features Dinah Shore, Dick Stabile and his orchestra, Gil Lamb, the dancer-commedian; The Acromaniacs and Tommy Sanford. Selena Royle, as Miss Taylor's mother, and Tom Drake carry off their assignments easily and competently. [1][9], Six months after the film's release, Milestone gave an interview in which he said he would never work for producer Hal B. Wallis again, because Wallis had wanted re-shoots in order to get more closeups of Lizabeth Scott. As the lives of the four are criss-crossed and exposed in a maze of narrative, which is sometimes as coldly revealing as police-blotter notation and conversely maudlin, all their sordid deeds are neatly pulled together like so many pieces in a jigsaw puzzle.And reminding one of a jigsaw puzzle, there are long stretches in "The Strange Love of Martha Ivers" when it seems as though the director, Lewis Milestone, and Robert Rossen, the author, will not be able to gather in all the pieces of the rambling plot. A Barbara Stanwyck film in which she barely features for the first hour, the structure is skewed in favour of Van Heflin and Lizabeth Scott. This is the actor's first part since he was discharged from the Army, and he brings to it that quality of rugged integrity and certainty of action that is characteristic of Spencer Tracy's acting.
