“The Inn... The Guests... The Sensations...”

Ken Jorgenson (Richard Egan) made his money himself, and he returns to the coast years later with a wife, a daughter, and a past he never settled. His old flame Sylvia Hunter (Dorothy McGuire) is there too, married to Bart (Arthur Kennedy), and their son Johnny (Troy Donahue) is soon spending his days with Ken's daughter Molly (Sandra Dee). Delmer Daves films the pairs in bright, open light and sets Max Steiner's theme running underneath them.
