A handsome gambler unwittingly becomes guardian of an orphaned, teenaged girl.
Stewart Granger is "Adam", a rather raffish gambler who, when his wartime friend "Chris" dies, adopts his daughter "Evelyn" (Jean Simmons) who has hitherto been living in an orphanage. Initially he pretends that he is her father, but that is soon exposed by his friends and so the two must now treat honestly - or as honestly as he knows how - with each other and their bond begins to mature, much to the chagrin of the rather calculating “Moira” (Helen Cherry). Both stars work well together, and the simple story is a well written and directed tale of deceit, deception and some good old-fashioned love with Wilfred Hyde-White (another of those actors whose voice has a instantly identifiable silky timbre) adding a little charm to the proceedings, too. In the end it all comes down to a moustache!
