    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The film was previewed with five different endings and the existing one (a complete departure from the play) was selected for reasons of popular response and censorship, prompting the resignation of producer Joan Harrison from Universal Pictures. She left with two more pictures left on her contract.
    • Goofs
      In the two newspaper headlines, The Concord Enterprise spells the family surname as Quincey, while Corinth Home News has it as Quincy. The former appears to be correct as that is how Harry spells it in his confession.
    • Quotes

      Harry Melville Quincey: As the poet said, Home is where you go, and they have to let you in.

    Great movie with a surprise ending
    From Malton and earlier comments it seems that the ending was changed. I read that there were 5 separate endings filmed and shown to test audiences over at 10 day period. Being unfamiliar with the stage play ending I can only say that this ending is excellent and highly effective.

    The performances are excellent. The minute facial expressions are superb. There is also quite a bit of black humor in the performances. It is truly a work of art. Initially I was not expecting such a fine movie. It had been selected by the Austin Film Society. But I was very pleasantly surprised.

    The story centers around Harry Quincy, played by George Sanders. His younger sister, Lettie, is deeply in love with Harry and feels she knows what is best for him. The whole situation changes when a beautiful young lady from New York enters the small New England town where they live, and she and Harry fall in love and decide to marry. Lettie must act to maintain the status quo. Harry is torn between his family obligations and his new found love.

    The ending lead down one path only to discover that all is not as it seems. It is an excellent film.
