After the film’s release, Raucher received a letter, with no return address from a woman he believed was the widow. “She wrote that the ghosts of that time were better left alone.”
His screenplay, based on his own youthful experience, was nominated for an Oscar. His other films included “Sweet November,” based on his own unproduced play.
