An impossibly young William Holden and Martha Scott star in this respectful adaptation of Thornton Wilder's play, giving it a happier ending. The screenplay is credited to Wilder, Frank Craven and Harry Chandlee. Craven also plays the omniscient narrator as he did the stage manager in the original play. We watched the restored version.
"I'll trust you for ten years, George. But not a day more!"
Holden's parents are Fay Bainter and Thomas Mitchell, Scott's are Beulah Bondi and Guy Kibbee. Philip Wood makes an impression as the drunkard organ player.
It's really good.
Music by Aaron Copland, photographed by Bert Glennon, production design by William Cameron Menzies, visual effects by Jack Cosgrove, edited by Sherman Todd. An independent Sol Lesser production released by United Artists.
