Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Shortly after WWII, flashbacks tell the story of Marise, her husband Paul, and Jean, who was imprisoned with Paul in a German camp. While attempting to escape from the camp, Paul is shot, and Jean goes to see Marise, confirming the news she already had gotten about Paul's death. Jean has fallen in love with Marise through the stories Paul told him and wants to stay with her in the seaside town in Brittany, where Paul owned a small business.

| Trivia | It took Greer Garson dozens of takes to enunciate the word "No" to the director's satisfaction. Co-star Robert Mitchum claimed later that this incident was when he first stopped taking Hollywood seriously. See more » |
| Goofs | During Paul Aubert's narration near the beginning, he states he was born in Brittany, as was his father and his father's father before him. Yet, he speaks with an American accent, as do all the characters in the "French" village. See more » |
