"Pete Wilson" (Victor Mature) is a famous professional football player who is the star of his team and married to an attractive woman named "Liza Wilson" (Lizabeth Scott). But although he is on the top of the world, things haven't been looking too good for him lately. For starters, his wife seems more interested in spending money and being seen at lavish parties than in pleasing him. Even worse is the fact that he has been having bouts of dizziness lately which is affecting his play. So, to find out what is wrong, he goes to a doctor who informs him that he has a heart condition which could turn deadly if he continues to play professional sports. The problem, however, is that football is not only everything he knows, but he fears that Liza would leave him if he ever stopped making enough money to suit her expensive lifestyle. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this was an okay movie which could have been better if it had a bit more passion or drama. But then, films of this type often tiptoed around the edges and weren't that explicit for fear of offending family audiences. That's good in some respects but it also makes things seem rather dull to mature audiences these days. Be that as it may, while certainly not a great drama by any means, I suppose it passed the time well enough, and I have rated it accordingly. Average.
