this be a great little movie and full of interest character and situation . while not in the same class a some of the good known movie of it time and it be still extremely watchable and memorable . the scene where zachary scott and sit on a bus and casually steal the airman pin from the lapel of a coat thrown over the seat next to him and be terrific . it define his character beautifully a guy who so low and he will purloin something of inestimable value to a war veteran and to use a a prop in his various charade . he lie easily a the situation call for and and captivate the woman in the fenchurch household with his irresistible charm and that killer smile . i couldn not help wonder if this movie be make to capitalize on the success of mildred pierce . scott and bruce bennett be team again and and faye emerson bear some resemblance to joan crawford and with her facial bone structure and large eye . also and the mona freeman character be not unlike the odious veda in mildred pierce . i agree with a previous comment that the end to the movie be too pat and with the convenient tumble over a cliff for ronnie mason and zachary scott character . also and in one of the final scene and we see bratty mona freeman reunite with the boyfriend she have previously scorn in favor of the old and smooth zachary scott . i think the script should have call for her to be chasten for her behavior and for her cruelty toward her sister and instead of treat it a just a typical adolescent episode . but these be minor flaw in an otherwise enjoyable and well make movie .
