Young Widow is a 1946 drama film directed by Edwin L. Marin and starring Jane Russell and Louis Hayward.

On the train, young bomber pilot Lt. Jim Cameron persistently tries to charm her, but Joan rebuffs him.

In New York, both are unable to find vacant hotel rooms, but Joan calls her friend, Peg Martin, whose baseball-playing husband is serving on a submarine, for a place to stay.

A number of military men drop in on the apartment as Joan arrives, all invited by the scatter-brained Mac.

Ashamed, Jim returns to his base at Mitchel Field on Long Island, where he is awaiting orders for the Pacific.

A few days later, Peg's husband returns after losing his leg in combat, and moved by seeing them together, Joan decides to tell Jim that she will wait for him.

He was replaced by Andre de Toth who then left reportedly due to a case of strep throat.
