I wanted to see Teresa Wright in something. Sam Goldwyn discovered her on stage and she debuted in The Little Foxes, then won Oscar for Mrs Miniver. The Pride of the Yankees was next (Gary Cooper), then this, then Casanova Brown - again with Cooper, and Frank Morgan and Patricia Collinge (a comedy by Sam Wood), before the epic Best Years of Our Lives in 1946. The film parts went off the boil then, unfortunately, though 1947's noir western Pursued (Robert Mitchum, Raoul Walsh, James Wong Howe) looks interesting.
Though early in his Hollywood career you can already see evidence of the Master's artful camera set-ups, shot by Joseph Valentine, scored by Dimitri Tiomkin.
