A troubled American soldier falls in love with young Pier Angeli in the final days of WWII in Italy. They impulsively marry, but he is soon shipped home suffering from "battle fatigue". They are reunited in New York after the war, but because of his inability to find a job live in a small apartment with his parents and sister. More melodrama follows as they try to hold their life together. Uneven look at the "war bride" phenomenon tries to work in too many angles, but the young Angeli manages to hold it all together.
