Barbara Stanwyck shines here, as expected, as a mature woman suffering from a hear disease and facing a unavoidable heart surgery. She learns this from her doctor and has to prepare herself to this so important moment of her life. And not only, she also has problems with her twenty years old daughter, and her boyfriend, who Stanwyck doesn't appreciate that much; nor her husband. So you have already understood that this story is very close to real life problems which audiences may have too. The perfect and typical tv series topic where Barbara Stanwyck has a role that fit to her like a glove. A woman fighting on two fronts, her health - her life - and her family.
