Daisy Kenyon -- Classy sudser in which a fashion illustrator (Joan Crawford) finally realizes the futility of her affair with a wealthy, married lawyer (Dana Andrews) and weds a likeable, bemused architect (Henry Fonda), only to find herself still pursued by the heel who's now getting a divorce. Director Otto Preminger dresses up the brittle heroine's saga of romantic woes with some good performances and ironic humor but the tears are all artificial. Stylized treatment of infidelity and a broken marriage. (A-III) (br) 1947

- A-III -- adults;
- A-IV**
- L -- limited adult audience, films whose problematic content many adults would find troubling. L replaces the previous classification, A-IV.
