It surprises me that no one has commented on it, as of yet. It features marvelous performances, all around, and a vibrant chemistry between the actors, especially the lovers, Lizbeth Scott and Bob Cummings. The script by Ayn Rand is intelligent and touching and real. I recommend this film very highly - an overlooked gem!

DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THIS MOVIE.
Me too!!
This is one of my all time favorite war movies. I saw it many years ago on AMC I guess...and haave been hoping it would make a return to TCM or AMC.
Bob Cummings is the best. I always wondered what was wrong with him, leukemia?
I cried so much at the end.

I saw this gem 30+ years ago on a local station's late night movie. I think I watched it because Bob Cummings was in it and I watched reruns of LOVE THAT BOB also on a local station. This movie really got to me. I haven't seen it since then. He and Lizabeth Scott were so great in it.
Don'cha think you're a little forward on such short acquaintance? You're compromisin' me.
Hello

Any idea where I could get it?
shareLove this movie so much. I could never figure out why he didn't tell her!!

I downloaded this movie from youtube sometime ago and just got around to watch it. I don't know if my ending is correct or not. Cummings dies and his two buddies come to visit Lisabeth. The're about to have a drink when a plane dips when flying over the house, just as Bob Cummings used to do. Then the movie abruptly ends - no "The End," no credits.
Is that the way it ends?
I love it too. I had it taped, but it got destroyed. I wish TCM would show it again.

I have never seen this movie but my mother absolutely loved it and I am trying to find it for her for Christmas. Do you know if it is released on DVD? If not, how would I find out when it might be playing next? Any ideas you have would be greatly appreciated.
shareI love this film too! It is really an overlooked gem. Hoping it will be on DVD
soon. JLC
Please let me know when the DVD is released. In the meantime, let´s request it from TCM US to show by them, if they have it on their library (since it´s a Paramount film, they might not have it).
shareMovie girl: I love this movie too! IT is a wonderful first film for Lizabeth Scott. She was a very talented actress! I will definitely put in a request for TCM US to show it and hope to get it on DVD. I am a big Classic Film lover too!
I think I did get a copy somewhere if you have a hard time finding it. It is very touching.
