Goofs

After Bob Merrick "escapes" from the hospital, he loses his footing coming down a hill and ends up lying beside the road as Helen approaches. She stops to help him and offers to drive him into town and he accepts the offer. Neither of them know the other's identity. Helen explains to Bob that her husband died because the ventilator he needed was being used to resuscitate Bob Merrick. Bob asks to be let out and he collapses behind the car...at the very same location where Helen had picked him up when he lost his footing sending him down the hill.

After Bob is treated in the hospital, he dates a check September 17, 1948. Helen is injured soon after and goes blind. Some months later, after Bob and Helen have become friends by the lake, her daughter Joyce remarks that Helen has spent the whole spring by the lake, which would have to be the spring of 1949. However, when Helen then goes to Switzerland to be treated, she sends Bob a postcard, and the postmark says August 13, 1948, which is before the earliest scenes of the film.

When Bob is released from the hospital, the large sign behind the reception desk at the hospital, which is seen in an extended closeup, shows the date as "Tuesday September 10". However, just a few seconds later, Bob writes a $25,000 check to the hospital, also seen in an extended closeup, and dates it "September 17, 1948." September 10, 1948 was on Friday, not Tuesday.

In early scenes of Bob Merrick's boat racing on the lake, he is warned to be careful because "...it is really kicking up out there!", but immediately after, the lake is seen to be calm, almost without any waves at all.

Given the speeds the boat was capable of, even a ripple could allow air to get under the bow resulting in a spectacular flip and crash.

At the accident scene, as the taxicab door closes, it is seen that there is no damage to it.

(at around 17 mins) When the cab pulls up in front of Brightwood Hospital to drop off Tom, the shadow of the microphone boom is visible on the hood of the vehicle.

The recently-blinded Helen Phillips (Jane Wyman) praises her friend for not becoming short-tempered with her and her new disabilities. "I'd have thrown me in the drink, if I were me." That should have been, "...if I were you."

Early, when the doctor dies, one policeman goes to talk on the police car radio and puts the mic up to his ear instead of him mouth.
