Storyline:
A war correspondent who was stationed in Paris during World War II married a French girl who was murdered by the Germans. After the war he returns to to try to find his son, whom he lost during a bombing raid but who he has been told is living in an orphanage in Paris. Release: Marghanita Laski was deeply displeased by this film of her well-known novel, whose protagonist is an English poet, not an American journalist. She had sold the film rights on the understanding that John Mills would star in a British film version, but, by the time a film was actually made, the rights had changed hands and she could do nothing to prevent what she saw as a travesty. She particularly disliked the fact that Bing Crosby sang in the film, even though it was advertised as his first dramatic role.
