A quickie retread of 'Stella Dallas' and 'Waterloo Bridge', this early production from Twickenham Studios is a studio-bound but intense depiction of what was doubtless a common consequence of both world wars.
Sparked by a commanding leading performance by Mary Newcomb, who as usual gives birth to a foundling after just the one night of passion - which she is still stretched out in bed plainly still savouring when the curtain rises - before her officer lover departs for the front leaving her holding the baby. Like most quota quickies it looks like a filmed play, but apparently isn't.
