Shouldn't be missed.
Top CriticMight have been just another run-of-the-mill midcentury romance, except for the bold way it depicts the debilitating effects of World War II on the very face and body of its male star.
Sensitive, occasionally touching romantic fable, well directed by John Cromwell and well acted by Robert Young and Dorothy McGuire.
For Valentine's Day, try this romantic classic.
some viewers will inevitably be charmed by it.
