Faith Baldwin's story of the attorney (Frieda Inescort) who tries to win the love of a son who thought her dead. Dan: Walter Abel. Earle: Neil Hamilton. Elizabeth: Heather Angel. Evelyn: Barbara Pepper. Jane: Ruth Donnelly. Well-acted; strong production. George Nicholls Jr.

Touching story of a lawyer, Inescort, forced to give up her son after her marriage to Hamilton is annulled. As the son grows up, the secret behind his mother's existence begins to unfold. Inescort gives this picture some sparkle with her realistic portrayal of a professional lawyer and loving mother. The film's score earned an Academy Award nomination.
