What happens

Golden Earrings is a 1947 American romantic spy film made by Paramount Pictures and starring Ray Milland and Marlene Dietrich. It was directed by Mitchell Leisen and produced by Harry Tugend from a screenplay by Frank Butler, Helen Deutsch and Abraham Polonsky, based on a novel by Jolán Földes. Unlike the novel, the film has a happy ending, with Lydia and the officer reuniting after the war. The music score was by Victor Young and the cinematography by Daniel L. Fapp. The film's song, "Golden Earrings", with a tune by Victor Young and lyrics by Ray Evans and Jay Livingston, was sung in the movie by Murvyn Vye. It was a hit recording in 1947–48 by Peggy Lee. One film location was in the Metolius River area in July 1946 with approximately 30 extras from Bend, Oregon. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
