From the collection of actor Van Heflin, who played Thomas Brett in the film, in his personal tabbed file folder. Numerical rubber stamps on the versos.

Based on John P. Marquand's 1946 novel. Released in the UK as "Polly Fulton," because "B.F" is a British euphemism for "bloody fool." Polly (Stanwyck) is the daughter of a wealthy industrialist, about to marry a lawyer. Then she meets Tom (Heflin), who blames the world's problems on the rich. Despite their differences, they fall in love and marry. WWII takes Tom to the nation's capital, and their relationship begins to spiral into turmoil.

Nominated for an Academy Award.
