Steve D Troubled production was worth it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/24 Full Review Audience Member This film had lots of production issues, and was released without an accredited director. But, the hands of Mervin Le Roy and George Cukor are evident (they are two of the four directors who reportedly worked on the film), as this is a beautifully filmed story of a woman, hoping her husband, a POW, will return to her. Instead, the woman (wonderfully played by Greer Garson) becomes the victim of a duplicitous attempt by a fellow POW who tells her her husband is dead and tries to effectively take his place as her husband. This is an under-appreciate gem. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member A stinker in every way. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member A lot of bosom heaving and heavy dramatics. It's all a bit much but the production values are high. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member WWI melodrama about a war widow falling in love only to find out she's not really a widow. George Cukor directed most of the film but removed his name after studio tampering. Mervyn LeRoy and Jack Conway finished out the film. It's not a bad movie, but I can see why Cukor took his name off this bland drama. I think I was mostly wanting to watch this because I'll watch anything with Robert Mitchum and that the film has never seen a video release. i suppose I'm glad I recorded it off of TCM.
