Tom Rath lives in Connecticut and commutes to work every day in Manhattan. He's happily married and has a loving wife and three children. Money is a bit tight and when the opportunity arises, he applies for a public relations job with a major television network. During his long commute to work everyday, Tom reminisces about the war. Although 10 years have gone by, he is still haunted by the violence and the men he killed. He also thinks of Maria, an Italian girl with whom he had an affair while stationed in Rome. At his new job, the head of the network Ralph Hopkins takes an immediate liking to him. Tom soon realizes that he will have to choose between becoming a wholly dedicated company man or maintaining a healthy work-life balance. When he learns that Maria gave birth to his son after he left Italy, he decides to let his wife know and ensure that the boy is cared for. 差以千里。译制阵容：。 根据索伦．威尔逊的原著改编。故事讲述一位年轻的大公司干部遇到了重大的事业考验，使他回忆起在二次大战时结下的一段露水情缘，并由此反省生命的真正意义。编导南奈利强生将原著小说对现实的尖刻讽刺削减，使之转达化成一部纯粹的伦理爱情片，同时，他用了过长的篇幅来叙述战时情景，使全片的发展显得缓慢和平淡，但格雷戈里．毕克、珍妮弗．琼斯、弗雷德．马区等几位重要演员在片中都演得相当精彩。
