Because of You

Because of You is a 1952 American drama romance film directed by Joseph Pevney and starred Loretta Young and Jeff Chandler. This film was surprising in that it showed a provocative "sexy side" of Miss Young, quite different from her usual dignified brunette "nice girl" part. In late 1954, Jeff Chandler said this was his favorite among the films he had made. Plot Christine Carroll is preparing to marry her boyfriend. She finds out too late that her fiancé Mike is a gangster and, once he slips stolen merchandise into her purse, she becomes his unwitting accessory. Though she goes to jail, she is innocent of the crime. Through the kindness of prison psychiatrist Dr. Breen, Christine turns her life around in prison, becoming a nurse's aide in the infirmary. Upon her release, Christine gets a job at a hospital, where she falls in love with wounded combat pilot Steve Kimberly, an architect from a good family.
