Based on the 1923 Italian play Come Prima Meglio Di Prima, this romantic drama stars Rock Hudson and Cornell Borchers, directed by Jerry Hopper (Secret of the Incas, Naked Alibi). In postwar America, prominent surgeon Dr. Michael Parker is stunned when the wife he believed dead for years suddenly reappears in his life. Flashing back to wartime Austria, the film unravels how the two met and married, and the single fateful mistake that tore them apart. Filmed in glorious CinemaScope and Technicolor, this dive inside suspicion and unrequited love also stars Oscar-winning actor George Sanders (Foreign Correspondent, All About Eve) and includes a brief uncredited cameo from Clint Eastwood.
