action

San Francisco in June 1945. Soldier Nick Stratton is on home leave . He has decided to stay in a hotel for the first few days and only then face his dominant father, Pete, because he is afraid that he will urge him to quit military service and join his company. In a nightclub, Nick meets the extremely attractive Giulietta Cameron, known as Julie. Immediately it sparks between the two and they spend a few happy days together. But when Nick learns that his lover is a prostitute, he breaks up with her.

Nick is warmly welcomed at home. His father is so proud of his son that he has an opulent meal served in his honor. The old man is convinced that Nick will leave the army at his request and work as a partner in his construction business. The son, however, strictly refuses, because he suspects that he would then always be patronized by his father. To make Nick compliant, Pete Stratton tries a trick: he fakes a severe heart attack. With this he achieved what he wanted: Nick joins his company. The old Stratton is not satisfied with that. The next step is to marry his son to the daughter of an influential business friend. However, Nick vehemently refuses to even meet the unknown girl. After a stormy argument with his father, Nick leaves the house angry. Although he had made up his mind never to hook up with Julie again, he meets up with the beautiful woman again, and a passionate love soon ignites between the two.

Nick didn't quite break up with his father. He is there for his birthday party - accompanied by Julie. When she sees the birthday guests, she is startled. And most of them are no different. Pete Stratton takes his son aside and explains that Julie had intimate relationships with most of the male people present, including himself. Again Nick resolves to end his relationship with Julie, but he doesn't succeed. When his father tried to separate him from the prostitute, Nick decided to go to Mexico with her.

Meanwhile, old Stratton is convinced that his son will no longer part with Julie. He goes to the girl and asks her to marry Nick in order to at least legalize the relationship. Julie explains to him what she has already said to Nick, namely that she is not a woman to marry with.

criticism

The lexicon of international films draws the following conclusion: “Strongly drawn family conflicts in a drama that is not very convincing and that uses a father-son conflict in connection with the fate of a prostitute for its criticism of society. Well-kept entertainment thanks to acting: Ernest Borgnine and the Lollobrigida. "
