Filmed on location, with a beautiful seaside setting as a backdrop and a thrilling score for accompaniment, their romance unfolds. But right before the birth of his daughter, Billy is killed while committing a robbery. Now in heaven, years later, he returns to earth for one day to attend his daughter's high school graduation and teach her one very important lesson. Reader Reviews I had seen this movie in the late 50's in Philadelphia at an expensive theatre with the lady who later became my wife. It had some really great scenes in it. I recently viewed it again on this DVD with my new lady, a widow. She saw so many similarities showing herself as the young and innocent Julie and her experiences with her deceased husband who clearly resembled Billy in many ways. It was a cathartic experience for her to see this film. As for me, it was a reminder of what I was also seeking back then, someone to love too. It is amazing how artfully Rogers and Hammerstein created a real life metaphysical story from such simple and touching moments. The costumes, scenery and music and words are just beautiful. I recommend the video to everyone who appreciates real love in life.
