Overwrought soap opera with some surprisingly grim moments starring Dresser, the uncaring mother of swamp child Marsh, who has despised the child since the womb because it was Dresser's pregnancy that led to the death of Dresser's husband. He fell into quicksand while sloshing through the bayou with his wife one day, and due to her rotund child-bearing state she had to stand helplessly by and watch him die. After Marsh's birth, Dresser ignores the child and refuses to send her to school. Sympathetic neighbors come to Marsh's aid and Dresser has a change of heart when she discovers that her "loving" husband had carried on with other women. leave a comment
