The movie is terribly romantic. I watch the ending over and over!, 28 September 2002
Author: Jconthepc from Chicago, Illinois

I really don't know why the other reviews show this as such a badly made movie. I really enjoyed it. Jeff Chandler is terrifically masculine, and Lana Turner is his female counterpart. The ending has a lot of suspense, which I thoroughly enjoyed. And, as I've said already, I watch the ending repeatedly.
