Anecdotes
The haunting theme music by Bronislau Kaper was actually introduced two years earlier in MGM's Ma vie à moi (1950), but became a jazz standard under the title "Invitation", especially associated with tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson.

Not bad...just kind of awkward and strange.

The plot to "Invitation" is very odd to say the least and it's really a one of a kind picture. A woman (Dorothy McGuire) has learned a couple important things that folks she loved failed to mention to her: doctors expect her to be dead within a year due to her heart condition and thta her husband was paid by her father to marry her! How is the husband (Van Johnson) going to deal with all this?!

The plot was weird, confusing and hard to believe. I did, however, love Johnson't monologue with his wife late in the film...it was very sweet. A money-losing picture that isn't as bad as you might assume.
