Editorial Reviews

Korean War veteran Jerry Shand (Grant Snow) returns home to his family and fiancee (Lori Loughlin) with dreams of riches and fame. Since appearing with Marilyn Monroe in a wartime photograph on the cover of Life magazine, Jerry is no longer content with his meager surroundings. His ambitions for a better life have been stoked to an unbearable degree, and he will take success at any price. He embarks on an affair with a wealthy young woman who increases his appetites for the high life. When an insurance agent (George Wendt) offers him a job, Jerry ignores its shady aspects and begins collecting insurance money in the town's most impoverished area. To his surprise, Jerry befriends an elderly client (Cicely Tyson) and comes to realize that he is going to have to reconsider the path he is on, the decisions he has made and the future he wants for himself -- and those he loves.
