Notes: 3/7/11
Good music by Max Steiner
Theme from A Summer Place is featured.
Lots of similarities to A Summer Place. Delmer Daves, Dorothy McGuire, Troy Donahue, etc.
Favorite scene could be the father-daughter walk. Nice fatherly advice.
Soap opera story with glossy treatment and pretty good performances.
Baby is accidentally set on fire. Oh, the drama!
Review: B-
Soap opera story with glossy treatment and pretty good performances. Young Connie Stevens becomes pregnant and deals with the effects of love and loss while her mother passes the baby off as her own. Similarities to A Summer Place are hard to ignore when you have director Delmer Daves and stars Dorothy McGuire and Troy Donahue re-teaming. Still, this film holds its own as an entertaining melodrama.
