STELLA DALLAS
"STELLA DALLAS" --- (1937) ---
MY THOUGHTS: Barbara Stanwyck was SO very good in this movie! This may be my new favorite role of hers, not having seen this performance until just a short while ago. She acted her way through many trying and tragic events, giving a great performance each step of the way, and doing so with much consistency. I very much enjoyed the movie, but for the most part, that was tied into how much I enjoyed her performance. It was well worth the watch!
