Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis film, along with his previous post-war picture, Gilda (1946), relaunched Glenn Ford's career after spending two years in the U.S. Marines during World War II.
- GoofsAdmittedly the special effects/trick photography are superb in this film, especially for its time, there is a moment, just after Kate hands Pat a lit match, when Kate turns transparent. It's when she's behind the chair Pat's sitting in, and moves off to our right. As she starts her move, her waist becomes transparent for just a half second, and we can see the bed behind her through her hip and waist area.
- Quotes
Kate Bosworth: Lonely people want friends. They have to search very hard for them. It's difficult for them to find...

I was surprised that I liked this movie as much as I did. As an artist and someone who has worked with machinery, I found the budding relationship between artist Kate and lighthouse engineer Bill easy-going and authentic, plus I loved the scenes of sailing, boating, and the lighthouse in fog on a rocky island. I'm glad I stumbled upon it on broadcast TV one late night. The message that we should be true to ourselves was very hopeful. No movie plot with one actress playing identical twins will ever be plausible, but it makes for good fiction and is an interesting illustration of the actors' ability to stretch into unusual roles.
