Movie Description
Surprisingly, this Gothic romance was chosen as the favorite film of American troops stationed overseas in 1945. It stars Joseph Cotten as Alan Quinton, a thoughtful, world-weary serviceman stationed in Italy during WWII who agrees to write love letters on behalf of his less verbally adept friend Roger (Robert Sully). In the course of his exchanges with Roger's girlfriend, he finds himself falling in love with her. Roger returns to England and marries the woman and, not long after, is found stabbed to death. Alan, still bearing scars from the war, ends up in rural England and one day happens upon a woman named Singleton (Jennifer Jones). He realizes that she is the woman he wrote to, now suffering from amnesia as a result of her husband's violent death. The couple fall in love and plan to marry, but Alan must still uncover the mystery of what happened on the day that his friend was murdered and his wife lost her memory. Cotten and Jones have real chemistry, and the expressionistic camarawork of Lee Garmes is brilliant.
Synopsis
Joseph Cotten stars as Alan Quinton, a soldier in WWII Italy who writes Cyrano-like love letters for his less articulate friend Roger (Robert Sully), falling in love with his unseen correspondent. Returning to England Roger marries Singleton (Jennifer Jones), the object of the letters, but is found stabbed to death shortly after they're married. Alan runs into Singleton, who is now suffering from amnesia, and tries to learn more about his friend's death.
Film Notes
Theatrical release: August 14, 1945.
Industry Reviews
"...[The film has] a hefty cult, thanks to lush Lee Garmes photography, the great title tune, and two leads who always knew how to project mental anguish..."
