...Madison, making his second appearance on the silver screen in "Till the End of Time," makes great use of the same three qualities that have already endeared him to the bobbysox brigade: a great shock of blond hair, a habit of grinning upward from beneath the shock, and his sensible decision not to complicate his art with the unmanly, finer points of acting. Dorothy McGuire, who is east as Pat, Guy's galfriend, although female and fetching, apparently can't get used to the thought of not being Clandia and has trouble groping her misty-eyed way through this picture...

A Tokyo newspaper wanted to run the book as a serial, and two of Japan's three leading cinemakers were bidding for the screen rights.

Lew Ayres, who left Hollywood under a wartime cloud in 1942 when he registered as a conscientious objector, makes his first postwar screen appearance. Whether because of the fan and exhibitor furor about his C.O. status, or because of his 22 months Pacific service as a noncombatant Medical Corps sergeant and chaplain's assistant, the Ayres face and screen personality have undergone a startling change.
