    • Trivia
      While shooting Clint Eastwood's (Will's) only scene, Rock Hudson noticed that Eastwood was wearing prop glasses. Hudson protested that because he was playing a physician, he should be wearing glasses, so Director Jerry Hopper gave Eastwood's glasses to Hudson. It is the only scene in this movie where Hudson wears glasses.
    • Goofs
      In the 1945 sequences, Cornell Borchers' clothing and hair styles are strictly 1955, as are those of all of the rest of the prominently featured women at the wedding, etc.

    Decent Rock Hudson flick
    Rock Hudson plays a military doctor who falls in love with nightclub pianist, Cornell Borchers. They marry and have a baby and all seems right. That is, until Hudson's seething jealousy wrecks everything that they had established. Tragedy tears the couple apart and Hudson must raise their daughter alone. Years later, fate brings the couple back together and their daughter (played surprisingly well by a young Shelley Fabares)must come to grips with the mother she had never known.
