Spoiler-Free Synopsis

Director Douglas Sirk and the phrase 'ravishingly beautiful melodrama' go hand-in-hand. This is one of his finest films, along with All That Heaven Allows and Written on the Wind. Rock Hudson stars as playboy Dr. Bob Merrick, who is responsible for the death of a loved, dedicated doctor. The doctor's wife Helen Phillips spurns his remorse but then she is blinded in an accident. Merrick, deciding to do the decent thing, trains as a physician and eventually performs the sight-restoring surgery on Phillips. She falls in love with him while blind, never realising his true identity but, on seeing him, will she realise how he has changed? Stunningly shot by Russell Metty, this was one of Universal's most popular melodramas of the 50s.
