Socialite Joan Fontaine joins the British WAAFs, where she meets mysterious man Tyrone Power on a blind date. Power obviously has something to hide: he spouts off on politics and class warfare, but won't talk about his past, especially his time on the front in France. They fall in love during a romantic getaway to a swank hotel, but the arrival of an old Army buddy gives him away. He goes on the run from authorities and  Fontaine, but mostly from himself, his crisis of conscience finally being resolved with the help of a friendly pastor. There are moments of propagandist patriotism and a melodramatic ending that goes on a little too long, but superb black and white cinematography by Arthur Miller artistically captures wartime England.
