I love discovering old movies I can recommend to readers of The Epoch Times. With the powerful leading couple of Ray Milland and Gene Tierney, plus an interesting premise, I was expecting it to be good. However, I wasn’t expecting it to be so timely.

Milland and Tierney star as Brad and Midge Sheridan, a happily married couple who sense that something is missing in their lives. When a doctor confirms that Midge is barren, she feels like a failure as a woman. She perceives Brad’s impulsive purchase of a puppy as confirmation that he, too, feels a void in their home. They discuss adopting a baby, and Brad, although hesitant, supports her contacting a local agency.
