Even considering the snobs who naively make fun of Stella, this film contains some of the nicest people&#8230;&#8221; I&#8217;m in agreement with Peary&#8217;s assessment. Stanwyck brings pathos and nuance to a challenging role: we&#8217;re willing to believe in her character&#8217;s story given that no easy answers are presented or accepted. It is indeed refreshing to see how nicely the major players (though certainly not all of society) treat one another other. Stanwyck and Shirley&#8217;s dilemma becomes simply an old-fashioned (albeit class-soaked) take on the recurring challenge of custodial privileges, which haven&#8217;t disappeared. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Barbara Stanwyck as Stella Dallas<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Stella-Dallas-Stanwyck2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Stella-Dallas-Stanwyck2-1024x671.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"419\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-45515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Stella-Dallas-Stanwyck2-1024x671.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Stella-Dallas-Stanwyck2-128x84.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Stella-Dallas-Stanwyck2-300x197.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Stella-Dallas-Stanwyck2-768x504.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Stella-Dallas-Stanwyck2.png 1481w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Fine supporting performances<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Stella-Dallas-Shirley.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Stella-Dallas-Shirley-1024x703.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"439\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-45513\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Stella-Dallas-Shirley-1024x703.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Stella-Dallas-Shirley-128x88.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Stella-Dallas-Shirley-300x206.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Stella-Dallas-Shirley-768x527.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Stella-Dallas-Shirley.png 1423w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Rudolph Mate&#8217;s cinematography<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Stella-Dallas-Still.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Stella-Dallas-Still-1024x672.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"420\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-45517\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Stella-Dallas-Still-1024x672.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Stella-Dallas-Still-128x84.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Stella-Dallas-Still-300x197.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Stella-Dallas-Still-768x504.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Stella-Dallas-Still.png 1465w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nYes, for Stanwyck&#8217;s performance, and as a classic soaper.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Categories<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?page_id=1784#noteworthy\">Noteworthy Performance(s)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> (<span style=\"color:red;font-weight:bold;\">Listed in <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-static\/1001Movies.htm\"><em>1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die<\/em><\/a><\/span>) <\/p>\n<p><strong>Links: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0029608\/\">IMDb entry<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dvdtalk.com\/dvdsavant\/s4378stel.html\">DVD Savant Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tcm.com\/tcmdb\/title\/91392\/stella-dallas#articles-reviews\">TCM Articles<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Such women don&#8217;t deserve to have children!&#8221; Synopsis: A working class woman (Barbara Stanwyck) marries an executive (John Boles) and has a child, but the couple find themselves drifting apart and soon live separate lives.
