...Miss Colbert is no longer the bathing beauty she was in Sign of the Cross, she does her best to convey an air of youthful innocence and terror. Her best is good enough. Cummings is reminiscent of the debonair pre-war Robert Montgomery, and a far cry from the usual neurotic hard-drinking males who presently haunt the screen.

For how could she tell this conventional young Englishman that she was already secretly married to a German whose whereabouts were unknown? Meddow, Jane and her husband all suffered because of the inevitable hurts of human dependence; each was an innocent victim...
