This one falls apart when Susan Hayward must completely change her character to fulfill the dictates of the script. Sorry, that's not who she's been, but to be specific would be to utter a "spoiler." One can understand certain kinds of destructive behavior after a personal disaster, but not what happens here. Interestingly, at college the girls are studying 'Romeo and Juliet' and the line 'Romeo, banished!' emerges. The film is not a 'Romeo and Juliet' variation, except in that wartime exigencies separate the lovers. They are victims of forces over which they have no control. The song is one of the great ones and was a huge hit for Billy Eckstein. It is sung in the film by Martha Meers, who had done the vocals for the likes of Hedy Lamarr, Rita Hayworth, Sonja Heine, and Veronica Lake. Unfortunately, the final phase of this film, seemingly tacked on for the sake of lengthening it, erases the credibility of what has gone before.
