Pilot George Brent has married flighty concert pianist Mary Astor in a hurry, so much of a hurry they're not in fact married. He soon begins regretting leaving long term Maryland gal Bette Davis and her surrogate mum Hattie McDaniel.
Astor (who won Oscar) and Davis perfectly suited to material like this, written by Lenore Coffee from Polan Banks novel.
Max Steiner music includes some brilliant variations on the Tschaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 1. Suspect the dark TCM print we see was darker than Tony Gaudio shot it.
