Synopsis

Lydia Garth meets Paul de Vandiere, a French nobleman, but their romance is plagued by Lydia's complaint of recurring spells of blurred vision. Paul leaves for France, promising to return and marry Lydia, but she loses her sight while he is gone. Given no hope of recovery, she enters a convent and quickly finds that she has no vocation for life in a nunnery. She finally marries Paul, but encounters strong opposition from Verite Faimont, a neighbor who is very fond of Paul. The latter constantly plots against Lydia and is successful in temporarily breaking up the marriage, but can a miracle of restored vision be seen?

Sammy Rice (David Farrar) is a British scientist working with a specialist "back room" team in London during World War II. Rice is embittered because he feels military scientific research is being incompetently managed. He is also enduring unremitting pain from his artificial foot. The painkillers he has been prescribed are ineffective, and his use of alcohol as an analgesic has led to his alcoholism. His girlfriend Susan (Kathleen Byron) puts up with his self-pitying, self-destructive behaviour as long as she can, but finally breaks up with him, telling him that he lacks the ambition to better himself.

The film is set between March 1939 and June 1940 in a small fishing port in Cornwall, whose inhabitants have a historic but largely benign rivalry with their counterparts from another port over the water in Brittany whose men fish the same grounds. Legally the French may not fish within three miles of the British coast, and vice versa, and alleged breaches of this rule are the cause of frequent spats between hot-headed Cornish harbour-master Nat Pomeroy (Tom Walls) and Lanec Florrie (Françoise Rosay), an equally redoubtable widow from the Breton port. Beneath all the bluster and posturing however, there is a mutual understanding and respect between the two communities.

Le film raconte les mésaventures du soldat canadien français Tit-Coq un peu avant la Seconde Guerre mondiale et à son retour du front. Tit-Coq tient son surnom d’être d’un genre nerveux, drôle et irrespectueux. D’être un bâtard pèse lourd dans son esprit, jusqu’à ce qu’il tombe amoureux de Marie-Ange, qui lui promet de l’attendre pendant qu’il sera outre-mer sur le champ de bataille. Tit-Coq a une amoureuse qui l’attend et aussi une famille à qui il s’est attaché. Cédant aux pressions de sa famille, Marie-Ange épouse un autre homme. À son retour de guerre, la nouvelle est un coup dur pour Tit-Coq. L’aumônier militaire l’aide à reprendre pied et à recommencer à vivre en solitaire.
