The story (**1/2)
How the story unfolds (**1/2)
The characters (**1/2)
The acting (**1/2 While Harry Belafonte just moped around for the most part, Dorothy Dandridge displayed that fire and grit that very few actresses have been able to muster on camera. Marilyn Monroe is a very good example of a similar talent, as were the earlier Marlene Dietrich and Claudette Colbert. Each of these ladies had that “it” that would cause a suitor to walk over hot coals for them and could bring that personal magnetism to their screen performance. )
Overall rating **1/2 out of 4 stars
