Though it is 1920 in the film, the growing unrest in Germany is evident of the beginnings of the rise of Nazism. The term is never used and rather serves as a backdrop to a love story surrounded by three close German friends who fought together in World War 1.
Didn't Margaret Sullavan's dying performance remind you of Greta Garbo stepping out to see the heather once more in Camille? Ironically, Robert Taylor was her co-star in that film as well.
The film explores the relationship of the 3 guys after World War 1 showing their trials and tribulations. The chance meeting with Sullavan and Taylor's total devotion to her with his friends sticking close by. This isn't a film of 3 guys loving the same woman; rather, it is an affirmation of their friendship and devotion to each other and the sacrifices made.
