Stanwyck herself considered the self-sacrificing Stella to be her favorite part, a "once-in-a-lifetime role." She wrote that it "was a double challenge because the role had to be played on two levels, almost making Stella two separate women. On the surface she had to appear loud and flamboyant -- with a touch of vulgarity. Yet, while showing her in all her commonness, she had to be portrayed in a way that audiences would realize that beneath the surface her instincts were fine, heartwarming and noble. Part of her tragedy was that while she recognized her own shortcomings, she was unable to live up to the standards she so painstakingly set for herself." As for the dangers of the story deteriorating into simple soap opera, Stanwyck observed that "one must distinguish between sentimentality and honest sentiment."
