| Stanwyck"s popularity with the public was strong enough to make the film do well at the box office, but she was aware that a few more of such pictures could do her harm. |
| Luckily. Barbara Stanwyck's next film had a good deal more to offer. It reunied her with a director she liked and worked well with, William A.Wellman and the film was based on Edna Ferber's Pulitzer Prize novel "So big" , one of the most popular books of its day. |

| After taking a couple of weeks off and appearing at the Palace Theattre with Frank Fay with good success, Stanwyck went back to work. Her new film was one of her least favorites. It was a tired story about a girl from the wrong side of the track. and the title said all, it was really shopworn. |
