Trivia
This film is one of over 200 titles in the list of independent feature films made available for television presentation by Advance Television Pictures announced in Motion Picture Herald 4 April 1942. At this time, television broadcasting was in its infancy, almost totally curtailed by the advent of World War II, and would not continue to develop until 1945-1946. Its earliest documented television broadcast occurred Sunday 4 January 1942 on New York City's pioneer television station WNBT (Channel 1); after WWII, WNBT gave television viewers another look at it Tuesday 6 September 1949, and it was frequently shown thereafter. In Los Angeles it first aired Saturday 28 January 1950 on KECA (Channel 7). See more »Soundtracks

I rented this movie from my local library, excited because I could finally hear my all time favorite actress, Miss Lillian Gish's voice while she was still a young woman. Imagine my surprise when, instead of the quality films she had appeared in during her silent career, I find this horrible, hackneyed "melo-dramedy" not worthy of the nitrate it was filmed on.
The other comments on this page will give you a good idea about the plot of the movie. Out of 10, I gave it a four, only because of the luminous beauty of Lillian Gish, and a rare chance to hear her voice while she was still young.
