A woman wrongfully imprisoned for self-defense. A soldier suffering from PTSD. A teenage girl trying to understand her convict cousin, while trying to get ahead in her own life. These characters, all underdogs in their own way, were reflections of how Americans were feeling at the time. This movie came out a year before the end of the war, and three years in, Americans were tired. The nation was rationed, mothers had lost sons, and people just wanted to get back to normal. (Let's not forget that we entered the war just after the end of the Great Depression). I love movies like this because the message to war-time America is palpable. And come on, Ginger, Joseph Cotton, and Shirley Temple? What more could you ask for? Incredible performances, a wonderful score, and a very relatable plot of love, heartbreak, and survival. Watch this movie!!!
