A star-studded melodrama featuring Robert Mitchum as a poor intern who marries older head nurse Olivia de Havilland in order to use her money to get through medical school. Upon graduating, he takes a job in a small town where, after an affair with wealthy patient Gloria Grahame, Mitchum sees his marriage and career dissolve. (official distributor synopsis)

Mitchum's absolutely delicious, characteristically ambiguous Dr.March is great – cynical and almost reprehensible in his relationship with his wife. On the other hand, his correct and almost fanatically consistent adherence to medical ethics seemed out of this world in the context of the lax attitude of his colleagues. Such a well-written character was just a joy to watch. Add to that the enjoyable and talented Sinatra and de Havilland and a nice emotional ending, then I'll slap on a 4* without even blinking.
