Totally Unbelievable, Tear Jerking Film
The whole plot to this thing is so contrived that from the get go it’s not going to work. A man gets saved from a reckless act at the expense of another man’s life. He then woos the guys widow. Filled with guilt he goes to medical school. He begins to learn about things she can do to help others. The wife goes blind. Hmmmm! I wonder what is going to happen. The thing that is missing is the ability to bring the husband back from the dead. I know I’m being sarcastic, but there are so many lame plotting contrivances and virtual impossibilities here, and the sappy conclusion. I’m sure this all played well with people who want a happy ending at all costs, including believability. Rock Hudson was a handsome guy and Jane Wyman was also a good actress. Too hokey for my tastes, however.
