Full Plot Details

London based American nurse, Lady Susan Ashwood (Irene Dunne), is at a hospital awaiting the imminent arrival of wounded soldiers. She is hoping that her enlisted son, Sir John Ashwood II (Peter Lawford), who resembles his father in appearance and temperament, is not amongst those wounded. As she waits, she remembers back to World War I when her husband, the former Sir John Ashwood (Alan Marshal), was enlisted, and the waiting she endured on any news from and about him while he was away in battle. From a humble background, Sue almost didn't meet Sir John, let alone marry him, as she and her father, Hiram Porter Dunn (Frank Morgan), the publisher of a small daily newspaper, were only in London in April 1914 on a two week vacation - her first trip - that was not going very well when by happenstance she got invited on her last day in London to the King's ball, where Sir John was awaiting the arrival of another young woman with whom he was supposed to keep company for the evening. Despite being mutually attracted to each other, the patriotic Sue didn't know whether she could leave the United States and get accustomed to John's family's aristocratic manners, as well as the English customs in general. She also thinks back to approximately ten years earlier when she was urged by her father to return to the States on the inevitability that the Germans would once again be the aggressors in a war. Through it all, Sue is a proud American, despite having lived the better part of her adult life in England.

Variety - 8/10 by Variety StaffDunne gives an excellent performance, as does Alan Marshal, playing her husband, while Roddy McDowall stands out sharply as their son.
User Review - 10/10 by Ashley Hone of the FEW movies that I enjoy dunne in (this & 'penny serenade')
User Review - 8/10 by bernard aCharming period film, wonderfully acted by the amazing Irene Dunne, beautifully filmed with excellent attention to the art direction, costumes and the cinematography. It's Dunne that makes the film work.

User Review - 6/10 by Paul ZA perfectly fine movie. I wasn't aware it was inspired by a poem until the montage near the end. I was surprised to see a young Elizabeth Taylor as she is not credited.
