What rubbish, and a bunch of idiots pretending to appreciate it

The plot is so stupid that a woman pretends to be pitiful for the sake of her superiors, but she does whatever she can. How can such a bad story win an Oscar? There are also those who praised sb, simply because this sb movie won Le Oscar and followed suit. Maybe the thinking of Americans was relatively backward back then, and other films of that year were more mentally retarded than this one, but people living in the present are still praising a film full of loopholes more than half a century ago. What is the reason? Needless to say.

Lloyd Richards: Karen, let me tell you about Eve. She's got everything - a born actress. Sensitive, understanding, young, exciting, vibrant...
Karen: Don't run out of adjectives, dear.

Karen: [narrating] Newton, they say, thought of gravity by getting hit on the head by an apple. And the man who invented the steam-engine, he was watching a teakettle. But not me. My big idea came to me just sitting on a couch. That boot in the rear to Margo. Heaven knows, she had one coming. From me, from Lloyd, from Eve, Bill, Max and so on. We'd all felt those size fives of hers often enough. But how? The answer was buzzing around me like a fly. I had it. But I let it go. Screaming and calling names is one thing, but this could mean...
Karen: [continues] Why not? "Why," I said to myself, "not?" It would all seem perfectly legitimate. And only two people in the world would know. Also, the boot would land where it would do the most good for all concerned. After all, it was no more than a harmless joke which Margo herself would be the first to enjoy. And no reason why she shouldn't be told about it... in time.
Karen: [on the phone, calling Eve to let her in on her little "joke"] Hello. Will you please call Miss Eve Harrington to the phone?
