Ep 67: Maureen O'Hara in A Woman's Secret (1949)

Although many critics dismiss A Woman's Secret (1949) as a misfire in the Ray canon, it gives viewers something we don't see often enough on the big screen--an intense relationship between two women that men find inscrutable. The coded affair between Maureen O'Hara and Gloria Grahame sours and ends up with a shot fired. Unfortunately, production was distracted by the drama of Howard Hughes's takeover bid for RKO, which resulted in a delayed release at the box office.
