Love Letters (1945 William Dieterle)

Not the first teaming of Cotten with Jennifer Jones (that was Since You Went Away) isn't as good as Portrait of Jennie but is still enjoyable - he a disillusioned veteran and she an amnesiac. Good score by Victor Young; Lee Garmes shot it. It's a Paramount production with both stars out on loan from Selznick.

With Ann Richards, Cecil Kellaway (I Married a Witch, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?), Gladys Cooper. Written - somewhat obscurely - by philosopher Ayn Rand, adapted from Chris Massie's novel 'Pity My Simplicity' (he also wrote 'Corridor of Mirrors').

William Dee-terler.
