"Life gave them only a few short hours of love together...a romance that was rapturous. She gave her life to one man...her love to another. America's loveliest Actress scores her greatest triumph in a story of hidden heartache."
Elderly schoolteacher Nora Trinell, waiting to meet presidential nominee Dewey Roberts, recalls him as her student back in 1916 and his relation to Dan Hopkins, the man she married and lost.
