Philip Dunne screenwrote R.A. Dick (a.k.a Josephine Aimee Campbell Leslie) 1945 novel and it's a very pleasing story, fully enacted by Rex Harrison and Gene Tierney accompanied by an artful Bernard Herrmann score, shot by Charles Lang 'Jr.' (Senior was a camera technician at Realart, a small Hollywood studio where Jr went to work.)
I like that maid Edna Best also starts going on about 'landlubbers' and has a secret attachment to the sea captain - as, it turns out, does daughter Natalie Wood (who becomes Vanessa Brown). With George Sanders, Robert Coote (AMOLAD's dead airman) and Whitford Kane (the publisher).
Edited by Dorothy Spencer, blast it!
