Classic drama directed by Douglas Sirk and based on the novel 'Pylon' by William Faulker. Set in the 1930s, the film focuses on Roger Shumann (Robert Stack), an embittered former World War I flying ace who is now making a modest living as a pilot and parachutist. When New Orleans journalist Burke Devlin (Rock Hudson) encounters Roger at a carnival, he becomes intrigued by the pilot's fall from grace. As he is drawn into his individualistic lifestyle, Devlin also finds himself drawn towards Roger's long-suffering wife, LaVerne (Dorothy Malone).
