Reckless playboy Bob Merrick (Hudson) crashes his speedboat, requiring emergency attention from the town's only resuscitator - at the very moment that beloved local Dr. Phillips has a heart attack and dies waiting for the life-saving device. Thus begins one of Douglas Sirk's most flamboyant master classes in melodrama, a delirious Technicolor mix of the sudsy and the spiritual in which Bob and the doctor's widow, Helen (Wyman), find themselves inextricably linked to one another amid a series of increasingly wild twists, turns, trials and tribulations. Also includes John M. Stahl's 1935 film version of the Lloyd C. Douglas novel. The Criterion Collection.
