West Point Widow

Anne Shirley got married to Richard Denning. But he was bound for West Point, where married cadets are not permitted, So Denning's mother, Janet Beecher, persuaded Miss Shirley to an annulment. Now she's a nurse at a New York City Hospital, where Richard Carlson is a doctor. He's in love with her and discovers she has a baby; she never told Denning because he would have done the right thing, and ruined his career, and she never told his mother, because she would have told him.

It's far too sentimental a movie to appeal to me, and director Robert Siodmak couldn't find enough in the script to bring out anything of interest. Sentimental romcoms were not his forte, and this is definitely programmer material. Siodmak would find his metier the next year, and Miss Shirley's career would end with her second marriage. With Franes Gifford, Maude Eburne, Lilian Randolph, and Cecil Kellaway.
