Trivia
While shooting Clint Eastwood's (Will's) only scene, Rock Hudson noticed that Eastwood was wearing prop glasses. Hudson protested that because he was playing a physician, he should be wearing glasses, so Director Jerry Hopper gave Eastwood's glasses to Hudson. It is the only scene in this movie where Hudson wears glasses.

Goofs
In the 1945 sequences, Cornell Borchers' clothing and hair styles are strictly 1955, as are those of all of the rest of the prominently featured women at the wedding, etc.

I like to dream my dreams when I 'm wide awake.

This remake of "this love of ours " starring Merle Oberon inspired by a play by Pirandello was to be directed by Douglas Sirk who provided the movie with the German actress Cornell Borchers ;portions of the movie were directed by Sirk himself.

If you like melodrama with a capital M ,you will like "never say goodbye" ;Jerry Hopper cannot be mentioned in the same breath as Sirk who was the master of the genre in the fifties ; there are similarities with "magnificent obsession" : the accident , Dr Parker assisting the surgeon during the operation ,and his guilt feeling (he caused Wyman' s blindness in "obsession " ,he unfairly accuses his faithful wife of cheating on him ,which causes her daughter's "advanced Elektra complex" .There are roughly three parts ,the second of which is a long flashback ,taking place in Vienna just after WW2.

Sirk could turn exponential tear-jerkers into masterpieces ,Hopper only made an estimable work ;directing is rather flat ,but the screenplay achieves maximum emotion ,the girl is adorable (the final sketch is really a good trick ,thanks to the always reliable George Sanders );an uncredited Clint Eastwood (today my favorite American director) appears as Dr Parker 's lab assistant .
