this excellent film be one of william holden best early role . not all that far from the major stardom that be to come . this be also a nice change of pace for robert mitchum . it be another sturdy performance by loretta young . i find it entertaining and honest and well make . i do wish warner home video would see fit to release it on dvd . it a good family movie and and i believe it would be popular . consider it be one of rko big hit in the late 1940 and i guess the public back then saw it the same way i see it . a a terrific film .
