acsdoug D @acsdoug 07/29/2023 A decent enough story and a good performance from Margaret Sullivan See more Ken R 07/26/2020 Legendary American born director Frank Borzage was a master at romance set in difficult situations. He specialised in stories set in Germany just before or during the build-up to WW11 (The Mortal Storm '40 - Three Comrades ‘38) In this interesting pre-code drama he's following two young lovers in 1930s Germany - as they hide the fact they are newly married and expecting a child. The young man (Douglas Montgomery) is keeping his secret to protect his current job - that for various reasons demands he's single. The settings (outdoor and indoor) are a delight to the eye, even when they are living in a stable! This is life as raw as it can be for two young newlyweds living in the glow of their own love—within a rapidly changing pre-war German landscape. Prolific veteran cinematographer Norbert Brodin (known for several classic Noir dramas including "The Kiss of Death" '47) who, with a combination of fine art and set direction; create a dreamlike poetic look for this thoughtful and offbeat film that deserves to be better known. Highly recommended for lovers of vintage dramas that highlight a historical time gone by, and do so with a special flair. Also, for the truly remarkable, unforgettable Margaret Sullavan.

One of Borzage's best films about love conquering the external forces of the outside world. Not as soft focused and fairytale-ish as Man's Castle or Mannequin, but still a wonderful film.
