"A WWII doctor marries a German woman, but leaves her taking his daughter in a fit of rage. When he returns, she is not there anymore, and only years later does she see them again – but destiny seems to want to keep them apart. Douglas Sirk returns with yet another soap operatic melodrama. However, this is not one of his better work, and often feels weaker and half hearted, making use of the usual tearjerking schemes which often do not feel as genuine or as interesting as they should be."
