Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDavid O. Selznick originally wanted to title this movie "I'll See You Again" and use the 1929 Noël Coward song of the same title as its theme music. However, he thought Coward wanted too much money for the use of the song and its title. Instead, Selznick acquired the rights to the 1938 song "I'll Be Seeing You," with music by Sammy Fain and lyrics by Irving Kahal. The emotionally powerful song was especially beloved during WWII when it became a sentimental anthem for British and American soldiers serving overseas.
- GoofsWhen Mrs Marshall hang's up Zach's overcoat in the closet, the rank on the overcoat is that of a Master Sergeant, but he is a Sgt First Class and not a Master Sergeant.
- Quotes
Mary Marshall: [coming out of a theater showing a war movie] Is the war really like that?
Zachary Morgan: I guess so.
Mary Marshall: That's funny.
Zachary Morgan: Why?
Mary Marshall: I mean that you should only guess so.
Zachary Morgan: Well, they have experts making those pictures. I guess that's the way they see the war. A beach a mile long, and thousands of soldiers, and tanks, and machine guns and everything. I guess that's the way it is.
Mary Marshall: But it wasn't that way for you, huh?
Zachary Morgan: It's just a difference in size. To a guy that's in it, the war's about ten feet wide, and kind of empty. It's you and a couple of fellows in your company, maybe, and maybe a couple of Japs. It's all kind of mixed up. Sometimes it's all full of noise, and sometimes it's quiet. It all depends on what you're thinking about, I guess. It depends on how scared you are, how cold you are, and how wet you are. I guess if you asked a hundred guys what the war's like, they'd all give you a different answer. Mary. You know what?
Mary Marshall: What?
Zachary Morgan: I mean, usually you don't like to talk about it. I never said anything about it before, not to anybody.
Mary Marshall: I'm sorry, I ...
Zachary Morgan: No. No, I feel kind of good.
- ConnectionsFeatured in TCM Guest Programmer: Tony Bennett and Gary Sargent (2015)
The "risk" paid off ........ I thoroughly enjoyed the film, of course, I dearly love both of the main actors and am also fairly fond of Shirley Temple ( it's a change to see her as an adolescent instead of as a small kid ). Although the beginning of the film is a tad slow, the whole outfit soon warms up and of course viewer suspense is maintained by asking oneself when each one of the couple will discover the "terrible" secret of the other. It's an old and tried formula, but the hard fact is that it WORKS ! The only unpleasant moment is a frighteningly savage dog attack on Mr Cotten - which I wasn't expecting - and left me momentarily breathless (let's face it, those big white teeth were impressive !!!). I am happy to have this film as part of my DVD collection and would highly recommend it to all of you who are smitten with 1940's style romanticism !
