A very fragile Montgomery Clift (the first film after his car accident) plays an aspiring newspaper writer. He ends up working for a very cynical Robert Ryan, and ends up getting involved with a very desperate Maureen Stapleton. Ryan puts him to work writing an advice column, & Clift ends up getting too emotionally involved. A good performance by Clift, but Ryan is the scene-stealer, in part because it seems he was given the best lines. A sub-par performance by Myrna Loy. Also Jackie Coogan.
