"Doc" Delaney (Burt Lancaster) is a recovering alcoholic who was a promising medical student who dropped out of school to support a pregnant Lola, whose premarital intercourse with Doc caused her father to throw her out of her family's house. The child later died, and in the process rendered Lola unable to have any further children, leaving the couple childless. Doc turned to excessive drinking, causing him to have bouts of anger and murderous rage. He eventually joined Alcoholics Anonymous and was able to quit drinking, though he still keeps a bottle in the house to remind him of past life.
