    I saw this movie on television on an afternoon in the 1970s. I was a child then and the story was a bit over my head. Now, thanks to the magic of CZcams I am finally watching it again. Thanks for uploading it.

    Richard Widmard, from every source, was a kind, loving, caring gentleman. It's such a 180 from his acting you wonder where he drew his skills from.

    Anybody who thinks that Veronica Lake cannot act has never seen Sullivan’s Travels or her movies with Alan Ladd..I would say This role is amazing because it’s 360 from Anything she had ever done or called on to do..No sexpot here at all..Fredric March was not everybody’s favorite human so it would NOT be below him to try and sabotage somebody he did not like..Ms Lake did drink her way out of Hollywood and was not liked by many people but she could act..Period

    Linda Darnell stole my heart in the 60's when I first saw her on screen. She unfortunately died tragically in a fire at the age of 41. After reading several stories around that fire I can't help but think there is a true story that has never been told.

      @@kevino4846 Well it's one of the stories anyways, we will never know the actual story.
      One of the newspaper stories I read a few years back said she made it outside, according to a witness. When she did not see the secretaries daughter she panicked. She went back inside to find her but never made it back out. Turned out the girls had already made it out a back window or something. According to that article anyway.
      It did go on to say that it was believed to have been caused by smoking. The secretaries daughter said that Linda did not let her mother smoke inside, but would catch her doing so and threatened to kick them out. Apparently Linda had let them move in after letting her go, she no longer needed a secretary. Because the secretary didn't have any other work Linda felt bad for her because she had a young daughter.
      Anyway... I thought she was a great actress, and I thought this story was tragic.

    Great 'silent' acting by the under-rated Veronica Lake. Her expressions in the restaurant scene show she's immediately caught on to the relationship between Slattery and his former love Aggie.
    I like Veronica's hairstyle in this too.

    DeToth wrote an interesting and cryptic autobiography titled 'Fragments', and I believe he details some of his time with Veronica Lake, although he never names names in the book for the most part. He got his start in the Hungarian film industry, went to England to work for Korda, then went to Hollywood but ended up working as a cowboy before getting his chance in Tinsletown.

    Richard Witmark is very good and he drives the film forward. The weather and flying scenes are exciting. The other actors are fine but have little to do. The melodrama itself is conventional. Andre de Toth's direction brings it home.

      Some of those four-engined Privateer navy patrol planes had fairly long postwar lives as fire-retardant bombers, fighting forest fires. They were the relatively-few successors to the 18,000-odd "Liberator" WW2 bombers that were quickly scrapped after the war ended.

    Both of the female stars in this movie had bad ends. Linda Darnell died due to a fire in her living room (evidently started by a cigarette) while watching one of her old films with two women friends. She was 41. Veronica Lake died aged 50 of liver and kidney damage from a lifetime of drinking.

      You see them smoking in all movies,because they program people subconscious. Later,they also used drugs and alcohol,as also porn.On many countries they only use gay people on all tv chanels and all programs. They are not just poison youth,but all of us in many ways and not only through tv,intetnet and cinema. Its food,chemtrails and many other weapons they use.They start and supply wars with money and weapons too.its the same people.who run all the world.

    Veronica had so little expression in her face- kinda deadpan 'acting', but Widmark was always good. Darnell put a lot more into actual acting than Lake, whose mousy appearance here was a disappointment to me. Frederick March said she was a "Brainless little Blonde sexpot, void of any acting ability". I agree. She drank herself out of Hollywood not long after this movie.
