  I am 66 years old now, but i still think about this movie. i loved susan hayward from my teenager years to today. i quote that line where John Gavin showed her his picture in their new house and asks her if she can decorate around it, and her reply was; why not, i built my whole life around it. i love it, i love it. where can you buy her movies?

  If you are a romantic at heart, you will love this film. John Gavin is easy on the eyes and Susan Hayward is outstanding. You keep wishing throughout the movie that the two will end up together.
