Handlung
WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesAccording to the AFI catalog entry for this film, for the battle scenes in Italy MGM constructed five 35-foot towers, a full-sized evacuation hospital, and more than 100 Army tents at the Lasky-Mesa movie ranch 35 miles outside of Hollywood. The set took three weeks to build and the scenes used hundreds of extras, five cameras and six assistant directors. This was all for a re-creation of the historic capture of the Anzio beachhead in Italy by U.S. and British forces on January 22, 1944.
- PatzerAt the end of the film. Penny Johnson says she followed her husband's movements on a map. During World War II, people in the military had it drilled into them that they could not say anything about where they were in letters sent back home, and to make sure they kept that rule, the mail from soldiers was heavily censored. This has been mentioned in numerous histories of World War II. And my own father's experience with this backs this up. He sailed all over the world during the War and the censors made no attempt to mask the fact that they had opened and read his mail. So, my mother started sending my father a stick of gum in letters to him. But, she always included two --- one for the censor and one for my dad. And most times, that second stick was gone. With Clark Gable being an officer, it's even less likely any information about his movements around Europe would have been available to his wife.

Ausgewählte Rezension
Wartime romantic drama that was a big hit for MGM
Successful surgeon Ulysses Johnson (Clark Gable) joins the Army Medical Corps during WW2. Once deployed, he develops a tempestuous relationship with his chief nurse, Jane "Snapshot" McCall (Lana Turner). Their constant bickering eventually morphs into romantic feelings, which Johnson's wife Penny (Anne Baxter) can sense back home through his letters. She looks for solace from crusading doctor Robert Sunday (John Hodiak).
This somewhat soapy romance features surprisingly good performances from the cast. Gable seems an unlikely surgeon at first, but he settles into that role well. Baxter and Hodiak, a real-life married couple at the time, give their best to underwritten parts. The real revelation is Lana Turner, an actress that I've never really warmed to. I thought she fit her role well in The Postman Always Rings Twice, but every other movie that I've seen her in, I couldn't help thinking it would be better with someone else cast. Here she's real and genuine and nuanced like I haven't seen her before. It may be the script, or direction that clicked, or co-star Gable, or all of the above, but it works, and it's the best acting job I've seen from her.
