Short description

Reckless playboy Bob Merrick crashes his speedboat, requiring emergency attention from the town’s only resuscitator while a local hero, Dr. Phillips, dies waiting for the life-saving device. Merrick then tries to right his wrongs with the doctor’s widow, Helen, falling in love with her in the process.

What's left behind the scenes

  • One of Rock Hudson's first major roles (he played Bob Merrick). According to his co-star Jane Wyman (who appeared on screen as Helen), he was very nervous during filming. Some scenes with him had to be reshot 30-40 times, but Wyman never expressed her dissatisfaction with this.
