I just watched this fine movie for my first time in 2020, seventy-four years after its production. How is it that it has escaped my notice for these many decades?
Without a doubt, every actor was perfectly selected to play their parts and speak their lines, all of which filled the screen an honest purity of heart. It swept away my heart by its feeling of goodness despite the unveiling of tragic sorrows.
Tom Drake's portrayal of Robert Shannon taught me how very possible it is to maintain civility and charm even while assaults against one's dreams keep attacking at every angle. First off, he kept his faith, even after great tribulation.
My eyes teared throughout most of the movie because of the honesty, decency and kindness that accompanied the words spoken by Robert and others who surrounded his life. The hardest of life's questions and difficulties were no match for his faith in God, and his love for Alison Keith (Beverly Tyler) was never diminished, even for a second, throughout those hard times.
Why this movie did not receive an Oscar is beyond me. It deserves every bit to be esteemed as highly as possible.
