A melodrama which takes off mainly in its second part ,when Sabre (Pidgeon) does everything to help Effie (Janet Leigh) ,the unfortunate young girl who falls pregnant

at a time it was not considered "correct" by well-meaning people.Fine depiction of everyday life and plenty of talk of the town.

Angela Landsbury's and Walter Pidgeon's marriage is on the rocks .He is in love with another woman (Deborah Kerr).As I wrote above,best scenes are those when Pidgeon is alone against the whole town who suspects him of having got Effie pregnant.

Should appeal to people who like stuff like "Mrs Minniver" (1942),but Wyler's work is much better though.
