Description
Oscar(r) winner* Ginger Rogers and Joseph Cotten top a stellar cast in this tender wartimelove story about two troubled strangers who meet by chance and try to crowd a lifetime of love and laughter into eight days. "Studded with brilliant performances" (Variety), I'll Be Seeing You "manages to ambush your emotions and hasten your heart beats" (Hollywood Citizen-News). After serving half of a prison sentence for accidental manslaughter, Mary Marshall (Rogers) is allowed a holiday furlough to visit her family. Keeping her history a secret, she falls in love with a kindhearted GI (Cotten) who's struggling to overcome shell shock. Both long for a normal life. But can they have it if he learns the truth about her? *1940: Actress, Kitty Foyle

My mother used to talk about this movie when I was younger, and how she loved it. I finally found it on Amazon, purchased it, and invited her to watch with me. It has the look and feel of the old war (the Big One)with a slightly different twist--Ginger Rogers is a murderer on Christmas furlough. Shirley Temple is classic Shirley--neither impressive nor instrumental to the plot--as the teenaged daughter of Ginger's relatives. Joseph Cotten, suffering from battle fatigue, predictably falls for Ginger, rescuing her from a vicious dog and relying on her image to pull him through a perspiration-packed relapse. "I'll Be Seeing You" comes off more as a made-for-television movie, but because the people in the movie are major stars, they brighten the screen more than the lackluster plot could ever do. Overall, I enjoyed the movie, the company, and the quiet one hour and twenty-five minutes spent. I would recommend it for those who are nostalgic, but I don't believe it would stand up for the younger generation that craves blood, violence and sex on every frame.
