Leo McCarey

Nickie Ferrante and Terry McKay meet on an ocean liner and fall deeply in love. Though each is engaged to someone else, they agree to meet six months later at the Empire State Building if they still feel the same way about each other. But a tragic accident prevents their rendezvous, and the lovers' future takes an emotional and uncertain turn.

In the tradition of It's a Wonderful Life, everyone in town agrees that there ought to be more good Samaritans like Sam Clayton. Sam is a department store manager and a devoted family man. Unfortunately for Sam, no good deed goes unpunished. When Sam loans the family car to the neighbors, he gets sued when they have an accident. When he invites his brother-in-law for a visit, much to the dismay of Sam's wife, the man stays around for six months.

A funny thing happens to Nick on his way to his honeymoon suite. He meets his wife. No, not his bride. He meets the wife that was lost at sea seven years ago and presumed dead.
