Terrific 1956 film where Dr. Rock Hudson accidentally runs into his wife. Hudson had thought that wife, an excellent Cornell Borchers, was long dead. In the company of an artist, the picture reverts back to Austria and how Hudson met and married Borchers.
Of course, Borchers having to go back to East Germany and trapped there, leads to her separation from Hudson, who eventually gave up and thought she was dead.
This film, a prime tear-jerker, has solid performances by all concerned. Hudson displays that emotional anger and as stated, he gives a tremendous performance. Borchers, whose film career in America, was greatly limited is certainly the Ingrid Bergman of her time. Surprised that Bergman didn't snag the role for herself, but in 1956 she was busy winning the Oscar for "Anastasia."
