If Winter Comes

Walter Pidgeon, Deborah Kerr, Angela Lansbury and Janet Leigh star in this heartfelt drama of a good man at the center of a whirlwind of malicious gossip in a small English town that hovers on the brink of tragedy. England, 1939. Married textbook writer Mark Sabre (Pidgeon--Mrs. Miniver) befriends an unwed, pregnant teenage girl. Although his intentions are kindly and their relationship remains honorable, gossip flies in their small town--gossip that could destroy his marriage, career and life. But a far greater tragedy befalls the town as England enters World War II and begins to endure the tragedy of war.
