- Quotes
Allen Quinton: You are so calm, it is so contagious, you... you are so happy.
Victoria Morland: I will tell you the secret, just two words, "Be yourself". You are afraid of that, everybody is. But I have no choice, I can't be anything but myself.

Featured review
Rostand Ripoff
A soldier (Joseph Cotten) writes love letters to another soldier's girl (Jennifer Jones) back home. Imagine her disappointment when she marries him; in the meantime, Cotten is beset with guilt when he learns of it. Conveniently, she soon becomes a widow and Cotten must find her. The search is stretched across 101 tiresome minutes, complicated by the weak plot device of amnesia and the necessity to keep the past from her to protect her sanity. Director William Dieterle and DP Lee Garmes are visually talented enough to keep us seated until we get The Big Message: 'No one can build happiness on a lie," from romance writer Ayn Rand.
