Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Mary Marshall, serving a six year term for accidental manslaughter, is given a Christmas furlough from prison to visit her closest relatives, her uncle and his family in a small Midwestern town. On the train she meets Zach Morgan, a troubled army sergeant on leave for the holidays from a military hospital. Although his physical wounds have healed, he is suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and is subject to panic attacks. The pair are attracted to one another and in the warm atmosphere of the Christmas season friendship blossoms into romance, but Mary is reluctant to tell him of her past and that she must shortly return to prison to serve the remainder of her sentence.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | David O. Selznick originally wanted to title this movie "I'll See You Again" and use the 1929 Noël Coward song of the same title as its theme music. However, he thought Coward wanted too much money for the use of the song and its title. Instead, Selznick acquired the rights to the 1938 song "I'll Be Seeing You," with music by Sammy Fain and lyrics by Irving Kahal. The emotionally powerful song was especially beloved during WWII when it became a sentimental anthem for British and American soldiers serving overseas. See more » |
| Goofs | When Mrs Marshall hang's up Zach's overcoat in the closet, the rank on the overcoat is that of a Master Sergeant, but he is a Sgt First Class and not a Master Sergeant. See more » |

| Quotes |
Mary Marshall:
[coming out of a theater showing a war movie]
Is the war really like that? Zachary Morgan: I guess so. Mary Marshall: That's funny. Zachary Morgan: Why? Mary Marshall: I mean that you should only guess so. Zachary Morgan: Well, they have experts making those pictures. I guess that's the way they see the war. A beach a mile long, and thousands of soldiers, and tanks, and machine guns and everything. I guess that's the way it is. Mary Marshall: But it wasn't that way for you, huh? Zachary Morgan: It's just a difference in size. To a guy that's in it, the war's about ten feet wide, and kind of empty. It's you and a couple of fellows in your company, maybe, and maybe a couple of Japs. It's all kind of mixed up. Sometimes it's all full of noise, and sometimes it's quiet. It all depends on what you're thinking about, I guess. It depends on how scared you are, how cold you are, and how wet you are. I guess if you asked a hundred guys what the war's like, they'd all give you a different answer. Mary. You know what? Mary Marshall: What? Zachary Morgan: I mean, usually you don't like to talk about it. I never said anything about it before, not to anybody. Mary Marshall: I'm sorry, I ... Zachary Morgan: No. No, I feel kind of good.
