Having just watched this I thought I'd post a comment.A fine film, with lots of deft touches.Victor Mature is very enjoyable to watch in this.Jean Simmons is perfect for her role.And supporting the story there is a range of wonderfully talented actors who play their parts so well.It is old fashioned, sure, but that is no bad thing.Definitely worth a watch. The script is good.Highly enjoyable and very entertaining.I rate this 8 out of 10.

This is the first movie I ever saw Jean Simmons in. The movie is somewhat sentimental but still likable. I fell in love with Jean Simmons watching it. Her presence jumps off the screen and you can see the difference between a good actress and a great actress. Presence. Victor Mature is also very good in the role he plays. It is not his genre and you can see that he was wasted by not doing more of these kinds of roles. The rest of the actors in the movie do a very good job as well. I remember when I was watching the movie I really got into routing for their relationship to endure. I really liked the way the story unfolded and the way it came out with flashbacks. All in all a good movie to watch on a Sunday afternoon.

I really enjoyed this film. I have never seen a black and white movie filmed with the theme of flashbacks. the plotline is interesting and even though it is from the 50's everyone can relate. It is clearly a movie that will stand the test of time. The best thing about the movie is the way the lead actor can so eloquently portray the man who lives off a dream. The lead actress also does a great job, in my opinion she is very good and i would like to see more of her movies. This film is special because it was the first to film a child actor. That was told to me by my grandmother so I am sincerely sorry if I am wrong about the child actor thing. All in all this is a great movie and I give it 9 stars.

This melodramatic and superamerican "comedy" is now terribly dated, not interesting but made with feeling and thus another routine job done by Roy Rowland. It's nice to see epicman Mature in a setting other than the arena or biblical backgrounds.
