      Mary St. John: Why didn't you bestow this honor on some other girl out there?

      Alfred Eaton: Because I rather liked the view from the terrace. Then I saw you and I liked the view even more.

      Mary St. John: You've touched me deeply.

      Alfred Eaton: But not in the right places.

    One of Neumann's best

    A story about an ambitious married man who on the verge of his success has a change of heart.

    I really loved this movie. It's a masterpiece of a drama about what we want in our life doesn't always coincide with our happiness. Money changes everything, and in this story it's especially so. This might be one of the quintessential story that money doesn't get you happiness, and is done in a very realistic way.

    Beautifully made movie that features one of Paul Neumann's best performance. I really thought he was great in this movie. He has other good movies, but this is one of his gems.

    Good movie that's highly recommended.
