Barbara Stanwyck stars as a concert pianist who checks into a hospital in Switzerland to treat an advanced lung illness, only to rebel against doctor’s orders by engaging in a partying lifestyle. Director Andre DeToth (“House of Wax” 1953) put together this average film noir melodrama with the help of writers Harry Brown and Ladislas Fodor.
Barbara Stanwyck never fails to deliver a compelling performance, even in a low-budget production. Her supporting cast includes David Niven, Richard Conte, Gilbert Roland, Joan Lorring, Lenore Aubert, Maria Palmer, Richard Hale, Edward Ashley, and Natalie Schafer, later famous as Lovey Howell on CBS’s “Gilligan’s Island” (1964-1967). “The Other Love” was a box office bomb for Enterprise Productions and United Artists.
