Plot: Ex-GI Ken (Marlon Brando) who as a result of a war wound is paralyzed below the waist. In the hospital back home, he passes through an initial period of depression with the help of a sympathetic Dr. B...( read more read more... )rock (Everett Sloane) and his faithful fiancée Ellen (Teresa Wright). Ken's bitter isolation is also overcome with the help of his fellow patients, especially the intelligent young cynic Norm (Jack Webb), the witty Leo (Richard Erdman) and serious young Angel (Arthur Jurado). Soon Ken throws himself into the work rehabilitation and after a long period of physical therapy even suspects he may regain the use of his limbs. With the approval and help of the doctor, he and Ellen marry, but on their wedding night both have misgivings about the marriage: the full realization of Ellen's new responsibilities frighten her and makes her more uncertain than ever, and Ken reverts to self-pity. There is a violent argument, and he goes back to the hospital. But his blazing anger finds no sympathy from his buddies, and after a surprising conversation with Dr. Brock, Ken realizes that he must return to his wife, with whom he must try to build his new life, in spite of all the attendant difficulties.

    Marlon Brando's explosive debut performance is better than the film itself. Watching this man in his first starring role is an enormous novelty, and I was even more impressed than I expected. His fury and unflinching truth shine through more clearly than the script's flaws and the mediocre cast he accompanies the screen with.

    Ohhh Marlon Brando, very fascinating man. Watched a special about him on TVO the other night and I just want to watch all of his movies now.
