this film always hit me hard emotionally at the end . though the issue of the film interracial romance and adultery be controversial at the time and this film go way beyond those narrow parameter of ground break novelty and trail blazing uniqueness . here we have a true love story and a write by the woman involve in this love affair and tell in a brilliant aggressive style that extol the virtue and glory of mad passionate love . i love this endorsement of the only emotion that make life truly worth living . jennifer jones be full of grace and william holden be simply magnificent in his role a a reporter . a wonderful film that only people who have be in this kind of love can really appreciate and understand . and for those who haven not yet be in love and even just the hope that one day lightning can strike for you make life worth living because love be worth have even if but for a short time even if you lose because love be the stuff the essence of life . this film work for me . a warmly felt experience .
