Alan Curtis (Cliff) and Frank Fenton (Sam) are on the run after Fenton has committed a robbery. They split up and we follow the route that Curtis takes and the women that he meets along the way. Once he comes across Gloria Jean (Jane), his life will change forever.
This film has two flashback sequences at the beginning to explain how Curtis is an unlucky victim in life. He distrusts women and he is told to feel compassion for others if he wants to find happiness in life. The main part of the story happens once Curtis comes across Jean and her very likable father Frank Craven (Clem). Jean is blind and seems to live in a fairytale world where she works alongside Mother Nature. Don't annoy her. Cliff does...........
The film is short and ties up rather too conveniently but it's still worth watching. It is also worth noting that this film is an expanded version of a rejected segment from the film "Flesh and Fantasy", a film also worth seeing. As such, we get this episode as the main story involving blind Gloria Jean with some extras thrown around this to develop the role of Curtis. This doesn't quite work as we sympathize with him throughout these added on scenes, while he is actually pretty horrid during the main course – especially when he goes hunting!
The cast are all good including the 4 main women credited. Rather oddly, it appears that all 7 of the main cast no longer had film careers once the 1940s had passed.
