On Barbara Stanwyck's Performance In the 1932 Pre-Code Gem, "Forbidden"

.  There are many words to describe any Barbara Stanwyck film, but if I had to select just one to characterize this performance it would probably be, meticulous. I chose that word because I was lured into her unique mannerisms and facial expressions and blown away with both the precision and subtlety of them. A lot of people consider Ms. Stanwyck to be the finest American actress ever and after witnessing this film (along of course with her other stellar performances) I'm kind of moving in that direction myself.
