After the accidental death of a renowned surgeon, his widow, suffering from lightning blindness, accepts the help of a young man who, for love, sacrifices himself to save her. Carried by a duo of actors who propel this little gem to the top of Hollywood melodrama, a tearful film whose Douglas Sirk, totally charmed by this first version, will make a remake that will propel this simple and generous script to the top of the 7th Art.
