''No Man of Her Own'' (1950) is a Creator/MitchellLeisen film starring Creator/BarbaraStanwyck and John Lund.
Helen Ferguson (Stanwyck) is pregnant and alone: her boyfriend wants nothing with her, so he sends her on a train ride where she meets friendly couple, Patricia and Hugh Harkness.

She finds out the Harkness family is loving and caring, especially Bill Harkness (Lund), and she lives a rather happy life until her ex-boyfriend, Stephan (Lyle Bettger) starts blackmailing her.
