Margaret Lockwood is really quite effective in this film as accomplished pianist "Lissa/Felicity" who discovers that she has a life-limiting illness. She decides to spend what time she has left in a remote rural village where she encounters the dashing "Kit" (Stewart Granger), an RAF pilot affected by gradual blindness after an encounter with an WWII bomb. The romance now gently unfolds, with both afraid to commit for fear their impending future will be a burden on the other. There are a couple of characterful sub-plots as "Kit" searches for molybdenum amongst the local rocks and has to rescue some local folks trapped in a collapsed mine to complement the intensity of the drama from Granger, and there are some lovely musical interludes including an especially touching rendition of Hubert Bath's "Cornish Rhapsody" from the coastal outdoor amphitheatre at Porthcurno too. There were many of these wartime stories that mingled the effects of war on the effects of people - this is one of the best, and well worth a watch
