"The main reason I tuned in to watch this classic melodrama was to see Bette Davis's first major screen performance. Her role as Mildred – an illiterate, unfeeling waitress who comes to a very bad end – would earn her her first Oscar nomination. Though she plays the pivotal role, it's really Leslie Howard who has the lead here. He plays a young medical student with a club foot, who falls desperately in love with Mildred."
