Never read the short story but the script itself is okay and the acting's fine. The only problem I had with the film is that Dana Andrews, who's a fine actor in my book, looks and sounds far too old to play the role of what I think is supposed to be a young man in his mid- to late twenties, a character who's not all that much older than the Susan Hayward character. In my opinion, DA looks and speaks like a world weary, self-deprecating individual of say, forty to forty-five years old, maybe divorced, with the deep voice of long time smoker, and not someone at that age desperate enough to enlist in the Army Air Corps. DA is one of those actors who naturally play older, and at the actual age of forty in 1949, isn't quite believable in this particular role.
