Movie Reviews of Random Harvest
Movie Review: oldie, but ....oldie
Summary: 3 Stars
This old movie was and interesting story with a predictable 1940's ending. This movie was recommended to me by old and dear friends, and while I'm sure it was an exciting movie then, it seems to have lost a little with the times.
Summary of Random Harvest
The ultimate tearjerker, this 1942 romance classic directed by Mervyn LeRoy (based on a novel by James Hilton) stars Ronald Colman as a British army officer suffering from amnesia after World War I. After falling in love with and marrying a dance-hall singer (Greer Garson), Colman's happy character begins a career as a writer and doesn't seem to mind that he doesn't remember who he is. A car accident changes all that, however, causing the hero's memory to return and making him forget all about his lovely cottage and bride. LeRoy modulates the obvious suspense element in the story (for example, is Colman going to remember Greer or not?) extremely well, building ever-so-deliciously slowly toward a huge payoff. This is one of the great date movies of all time. --Tom KeoghPaula Smith (Greer Garson) is the secretary of industrialist Charles Rainier (Ronald Colman). She's also his wife which Charles does not know. Shell-shocked during World War I he doesn't recall his days as her husband John Smith. Advised not to endanger Charles' fragile mental state Paula cannot openly reveal her identity. She must find other ways to help him remember their life together. From the novel by James Hilton (Goodbye Mr. Chips Lost Horizon) comes one of the great sentimental romance movies. Garson's Paula alongside her same-year triumph as Mrs. Miniver established her persona as the strong self-sacrificing wife. Random Harvest gathered seven Academy AwardO nominations* (including Best Picture and Colman as Best Actor) and also reaped a box-office harvest as the year's #4 hit.Running Time: 126 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA UPC: 012569525122
