Charles Boyer plays a man everyone refers to as 'the Commander'. He was a commander in the navy during the war but apparently was injured badly and lost his mind. He isn't dangerous...but he forgets and is a bit scatterbrained. But one thing he does know is that he'd like to leave his family estate and move into a quiet place of his own. But what he doesn't realize is that his sister is a shrew...and his two brothers are under her thumb. All she cares about is the family reputation and fortune...and allowing the Commander to have money for this little house is something she'll never allow. You know she's a terrible person...but just HOW terrible comes as a bit of a shock later. How she is terrible and what this has to do with the Commander you will just have to see for yourself.
The ending to this show is marvelous...and makes the whole thing worth while. My only complaint is the weird malady the Commander has. It isn't really PTSD...and I wish they'd said he had a traumatic brain injury or something...otherwise his weird behavior and mental condition just didn't seem to make a lot of sense. Still, it's well worth watching.
