SYNOPSIS:

When churlish, spoiled rich man Bob Merrick foolishly wrecks his speed boat, the rescue team resuscitates him with equipment that's therefore unavailable to aid a local hero, Dr. Wayne Phillips, who dies as a result. Phillips had helped many people, and when Merrick learns Phillips' secret, to give selflessly and in secret, he tries it in a ham-handed way. The result further alienates Phillips' widow, Helen, with whom Merrick has fallen in love. Merrick's persistence causes another tragedy, and he must remake his life, including going back to medical school, in an attempt to make amends and win her love.

TRIVIA:

Jane Wyman (I)' appears as herself and narrates the trailer.

Jeff Chandler turned down the role of Bob Merrick because he thought the story was too "soppy".

• Continuity: In early scenes of Bob Merrick boat racing on the lake, he is warned to be careful because "...it is really kicking up out there!" but we immediately see the lake and it is calm, almost without any waves at all.
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): The recently-blinded Helen Phillips (Jane Wyman) praises her friend for not becoming short-tempered with her and her new disabilities. "I'd have thrown me in the drink, if I were me." ... Should be, "......if I were YOU."
• Revealing mistakes: During Merrick's 'drunk' scene he uses the telephone, and all through his conversation he has the handset upside down, with the cord at the top.

Revealing mistakes: At the accident scene, as the taxicab door closes it is seen that there is no damage to it.

PLEASE TAKE NOTE: Some of the Photographs are not "True" 8" x 10".  Some are a bit smaller and some are a bit larger.  Also there are some Photographs that are from overall smaller pictures.
