MGM melodrama at its best, and from the master of melodramas. It's a family saga, that takes place before, and during WW2, from Argentina to Europe, a very solid, powerful story, pulled by strong characters. As another comment said, the influence of Visconti, this grand atmopshere, is obvious for connaisseurs. It is bright, shining, though sometimes a bit too long, despire Glenn Ford's presence and performance. Awesome Vincente Minnelli vehicle.
