The Very Thought of You (1944)
A film from 1944 that hits home today.
WOW, what a great film! Another stellar performance by Eleanor Parker and Dennis Morgan; supported by Faye Emerson, Dane Clark, Beulah Bondi, Henry Travers and Andrea King. I am surprised that it is not as well known today since its quality rates right up there with "Best Years of Our Lives". This war-time drama is focused on the home front and the challenges faced by a soldier on leave (Morgan) who meets and falls in love with a hometown girl (Parker). They characterize themselves as reasonable people and feel that nothing can happen between them until after the war. What follows is a touching love story with challenges, hurdles and happiness. I can't help but think that there are many folks going through the same feelings and challenges today with our soldier heroes.
