I watch these things & I can actually feel myself regressing into that helplessly romantic little girl who faked sick to stay home from school to catch crucial episodes of Days of Our Lives. This is a soap opera on the same level of achievement, with very thin plot, and an unsubstantiated romance one only believes because Dunne & Boyer make dreamy eyes at one another so well. The film is notable for a long hurricane sequence that’s pretty damn impressive for 1939. And eh, the rest of it’s just lovable cheese. I get all angsteh. I’m so easy. I’m so easy.
Barbara O’Neil plays a fairly interesting character, as Boyer’s possibly crazy? maybe just a bitch? wife. This film also boasts the more compelling use of the line “I’ll be back.” ["...in a little while." the angst!] Also, “I’ve fallen desperately in love with you, and I don’t know what we’re going to do about it.” Ugh!
