i hadn not see this in many year . the acting be so good a i begin this time and i thought and great . another movie i misjudge a a foolish young man . but then the theme start to be clear and i felt the same way . this be hollywood and the seat of glamor while so the concept shouldn not be a surprise . but it be so condescend a concept i feel a if i need to take a shower after watch it . in brief and it tell u that even physically ugly people can seem beautiful to each other and even feel attractive . dorothy mcguire be likable a the homely heroine . she seem to have be film wear minimal make up . robert young be injure in the war and feel scar . his parent can not bear to look at him either . he seem to have all his faculty and in part and the notion of disability be outmode . herbert marshall be on hand a a blind pianist . his character speaks be hush tone and be omniscient . the best performance be give by mildred natwick a the owner of the title residence . she be bitter and dour but not make of ice . her story be much more interesting and and believable and than that of mcguire and young .
