Trivia:
Angela Lansbury then twenty-two wanted the sympathetic role of the waif-like village girl Effie but was forced to play Mabel the thirty-five year old shrewish wife of fifty year old Walter Pidgeon. This brought home to Lansbury that she would never be a star player at MGM. The role of Effie went to Janet Leigh who would be Lansbury's co-star in The Manchurian Candidate where Lansbury would again play an older unsympathetic woman although this role - Mrs. Iselin - would be cited by Lansbury as her favorite film role. moreFAQ

A melodrama which takes off mainly in its second part ,when Sabre (Pidgeon) does everything to help Effie (Janet Leigh) ,the unfortunate young girl who falls pregnant
at a time it was not considered "correct" by well-meaning people.Fine depiction of everyday life and plenty of talk of the town.
Angela Landsbury's and Walter Pidgeon's marriage is on the rocks .He is in love with another woman (Deborah Kerr).As I wrote above,best scenes are those when Pidgeon is alone against the whole town who suspects him of having got Effie pregnant.
Should appeal to people who like stuff like "Mrs Minniver" (1942),but Wyler's work is much better though.
