I've just caught this on Talking Pictures TV. I only tuned in because Montgomery Clift was in it. By the end I was pleading with Jennifer Jones to get on the train and stay there. The whole thing drags along at a snail's pace (snails probably move faster). As I watched, my mind just kept wandering due to its self absorbed and phoney plot. I kept waiting for something to happen and when it did, it just came across as looking ridiculous and over the top. There's a scene with a pregnant woman with some children which is completely irrelevant and serves no purpose, although the child actors were engaging, which is more than can be said for the key players. Clift's face throughout failed to alter, I can only describe the expression as requiring laxatives. I've never been so pleased for someone to get on a train. Overplayed, overacted and thank goodness just over.
