Didn't always feel as engaged in this guilt, but it was onto something, presenting it in a decent manner. Foundation way laid by Lee J. Cobb. Had hoped for more from John Derek, but his looks probable did half the job. The rest of the supporting cast do well in a movie that wasn't build on over-dramatizing the events. Kind of a toned down desperation to it all.
