Academy Awards, USA 1945
| Nominated Oscar | Best Cinematography, Black-and-White George J. Folsey |
MGM
Directed by Clarence Brown
My rating: 3.5 stars out of 4
Irene Dunne is an American in England who marries a dashing young Englishman she meets at a royal ball. The film chronicles her sacrifices, and those of her family, as England is drawn into the first and second World Wars. Similar territory as The Best Years of Our Lives, though not as good, it nonetheless contrasts idyllic young love with the heartbreak of war. Nicely photographed by George Folsey (nominated 12 times for cinematography, including this film, but never a winner).
