Plot
Prudence Cathaway (Joan Fontaine) a strong-willed young woman from a privileged background, joins the WAF, a women's paramilitary group, over family protests. On a blind date one inky black night, she meets Clive Briggs (Tyrone Power), a moody mysterious man with a dark secret. When she subsequently sees her date in the daylight, the romance inevitably ensues. Despite Briggs' criticism of her own aristocratic background, Prudence tolerates Briggs' cynical nature and his ambivalence about fighting to retain the English class system that supports the rich and privileged.
