This movie was directed by William Wyler and it's much better then his overrated Roman Holiday. This is a much more serious film then Holiday and this movie starts out with Jennifer Jones leaving her family in a small town to go to Chicago to live her sister and her husband. They live in a slum and Jones finds a job in a factory but is fired pretty quickly and can't find a job. She meets Eddie Albert and moves in with him and after people start saying things behind her back, she wants to get married but he doesn't want to. Jones then meets Laurence Olivier who owns a big restaurant in town and they quickly fall in love. Jones asks to marry Olivier but finds out he's married and his wife won't grant a divorce. There is a lot more that happens and i think Laurence Olivier is a great actor but he just wasn't right for this role but Jones does a good job.
