REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Thu., May 11, 2000

In this remake of John Stahl’s 1935 film, Hudson plays a drunken playboy who mends his ways and becomes a surgeon in order to repair the eyesight of the woman (Wyman) he blinded in a car accident. This outrageous story was a popular success and sealed Hudson’s stardom.
