If we do fulfill our high mission and our high destiny, it will be because we have resolved to do our dead level best to advance peace, to advance security, to shore up a shaky world. Only by doing that can we vindicate the sacrifice of those who died on land and sea, and fulfill the hopes of men and women in every free land...

Betsy Blair is fully convincing as the sort of plain Jane whose homeliness is only skin-deep.
