IMDb trivia states: Jane Wyman's Oscar acceptance speech is reportedly the shortest on record for Best Actress: "I won this award by keeping my mouth shut and I think I'll do it again."
IMDb movie outline: A kind doctor volunteers to tutor a deaf-mute woman, but scandal starts to swirl when his pupil is raped and falls pregnant.
I enjoy movies like this, similar to old westerns, where the story centers around gossiping townsfolks and how quickly people are determined to believe something without knowing all the facts, which makes it a timeless story that is relatable in any era.
