Sentimental story of young woman Ella Bishop, who graduates from a new college and stays on to teach English for over 50 years. At her retirement dinner she tells her students the story of her failed romances over the years and why she never married. She had failed romantic relationships with weak-willed Delbert and the unhappily married John Stevens. Although Ella believes her life was one of missed chances and poor choices , her students prove to her the triumphs of her life through their own successes. Rosemary De Camp's first film. Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Score.
