Next Time We Love: Review

This is one of the few newspaperman stories in which the journalist is not a drunk, a wisecracker, or a fool. Sullavan quits the university to marry Stewart, an ambitious newshound. Milland is a wealthy pal who knows Sullavan would like to go on stage, so he arranges an intro to a heavyweight producer and she gets an acting job. Stewart secures an assignment to his paper's Rome bureau, but Sullavan prefers to stay in New York. Once Stewart's gone to Italy, she tells best friend Milland that she's pregnant and Stewart learns of the birth via a letter from their apartment manager. He races back from Rome and pledges never to leave her side again. However, because he left his post without notice, he is fired from his good job and has to start at the bottom again as a cub reporter at a local news-gathering company. Milland steps in once more and arranges an acting job for Sullavan. Stewart is morose and Sullavan pleads with his ex-boss to get him another job, even one overseas. Stewart is rehired and must cross the Atlantic right away. Years pass and Sullavan becomes a star, seeing her husband only when their schedules coincide, although she continues to love him. Milland now admits he loves Sullavan and asks for her hand--once she can shed Stewart. She travels to Europe to sort things out and soon learns that Stewart is dying of an unspecified ailment he got while on a job in China. As they couple travels by train, she assures Stewart they will be together until his last breath. A sob story with good performances by all, but overly sentimental. Until the end, Sullavan is so much more interested in her career than in her marriage that she doesn't engender much sympathy. leave a comment
