Behind every great man... Centenarian Hannah Sempler Hoyt (Barbara Stanwyck) tells her story in flashbacks from when as a teenager she met and eloped with Ethan Hoyt (who went on to found Hoyt City) through to the dedication of his statue.
Thirty-five year-old Barbara Stanwyck played Hannah from around 20 to 100. Wally Westmore was responsible for the makeup which was exceptional for the time — 1942).
