My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)
Single mom Helen Hayes is abandoned by her boyfriend, marries a rich man who turns out to be a thief, goes to prison for something she did not do, becomes a streetwalker and eventually ends up old and destitute. Robert Young is her grown son in an early role. Melodramatic soaper's lone asset is watching Hayes adapt to her various roles and grow old (with the help of some expert makeup).
