This is the one about the charismatic female patient falling for her doctor and vice versa - a Light Victory if you will - and for reasons best known to themselves the producers are coy about identifying Stanwyck's complaint as tuberculosis despite her being treated in a Swiss clinic high in the mountains and passing patients in beds outdoors. Barbara Stanwyck and David Niven are fine actors and may easily be mentioned in the same breath as Bette Davis and George Brent but alas, they lack chemistry and neither is this supplied by Richard Conte, the third angle of the eternal triangle. As always Edith Head gives great costume so that Stanwyck is always something of a fashion plate but it's more watchable for its rarity and curio value than anything else.
