ppint. 21st Nov 2020		Review wartime story of a journalist whose air corps photographer husband was killed flying, returning to new york unable to settle back into work, but unable to settle without her work, either, chatted up by a bomber pilot who's received his new posting to the pacific on the train returning again to new york, finding a shared apartment with other young women who're enjoying the social whirl, being found again by jim, the bomber pilot, and liking him, but not falling in love with him. when she's witness to his saving the life of an old woman who falls on the subway tracks, she writes it up for her paper, recovers a lot of her former energy, and they start going out on dates together. then he's ordered to get his cholera vaccination and given details of his imminent his flight out... so; a novel of a wartime romance, but not a category romance; historically-set, if only just, at the time it was written, but not a category historical romance - which translates more-or-less as ''bodice-ripper'' category, which this decidedly is not; and equally, though set during world war two, definitely not war fiction. made into a film of the same title starring jane russell and louis hayward, produced by hunt stromberg, directed by edwin l. marin; jane russell's second film, the first to go on general release. 7 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
