Classic poor-girl-meets-rich-boy tearjerker. This very heavy-handed drama is well-acted by Greer Garson and Gregory Peck, with Lionel Barrymore and Donald Crisp heading a good supporting cast. The script is interesting, maybe a mite slowly paced at times, but with moments of humor as well. The tense, dramatic confrontation on the bridge is the most memorable scene in the film. This was only Gregory Peck's third film, having made his Hollywood debut a year earlier.
Would I recommend? Yes, sure. A good romance, with great actors. What's not to like?
