Movie Reviews

Synopsis:
Told in flashback, this wartime romance shows the personal growth of one man, ironically because of his extramarital affair. Gable, a self-centered doctor, enlists in World War II, leaving his wife and shallow existence at home. Lana Turner portrays the battlefield nurse whose love forever changes him. Together they live and love in a place that might destroy them.

Notes:
Beware: Spoiler! Star Gable and producer Franklin fought over what should happen to Lana Turner's character. Gable felt the honest ending involved her death.
