		Valerie Hobson was the daughter of a penniless British naval officer, who was also a chronic gambler, and her childhood was haunted by the threat of poverty, something which affected all her decisions in later life.
		Hobson hit her peak during the post-WW2 period with mature, carefully realized performances in Great Expectations (1946, as Estella), Blanche Fury (1947), Kind Hearts and Coronets, The Rocking Horse Winner (both 1949), The Promoter (1951), Tonight at 8:30 (1952), and Lovers, Happy Lovers (1954).
		Hobson stood by her husband and was applauded for her loyalty.

		Even more unique for its time is the star-crossed romance with a married woman aspect of the story.
		This time the war is in full swing and Veidt plays a good-guy Danish ship's captain rather than a sympathetic German, and instead of a schoolteacher Hobson gets to play a 1940s version of a bitch (who happens to be a spy).
		The only disappointment here is that the film is much more full of life once Veidt and Hobson begin to work with each other, rather than as adversaries.

		The mother is played by Valerie Hobson, who starred as Estella a few years earlier in the extraordinary adaptation of David Lean's "Great Expectations." She is impatient with her husband's relatively low wages and wishes continually for more funds, seemingly not caring about the source of the money.
		The acting is generally good and somewhat larger than life, although Valerie Hobson portrays the mother in perhaps too unsympathetic a light.
		A highlight of the film is the demonic rocking horse that the boy receives for Christmas; the scenes with the boy riding it into a frenzy are frighteningly unforgettable, and perhaps more than a bit oedipal in nature.
