Caught

Barbara Bel Geddes, Robert Ryan, James Mason

Compelling drama from Max Ophuls. A sweet naive young woman dreams of marrying a rich man. By chance she meets one, he marries her and then her troubles began.

Simple little morality tale is elevated by the performances and outstanding direction. Film was tight and taut...easily held my attention. The final resolution was too pat but it didn't matter. This is seen as one of hollywood's great classics, deservedly so.
