Synopsis
Stephen Tromholt is a German concert pianist whose artistic temperament leads him around and about the creation of his "masterpiece." With a constant eye for the feminine flare, he meets Brigitte (a widow with three children and a strong sense of responsibility) on a train, wines and dines her, and has her engaged to be married that very evening as the train whizzes by the concert stop for the night. As they set up a home by the sea, Stephen is often struck by the wanderlust and though unfaithful on several occasions, most ardently with his former lover, Karen, he eventually comes to realize, at his wife's deathbed, the true measure and worth of her unflagging devotion.
