Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Love Letters (1945)

A soldier writes letters for a playboy Cyrano-style and falls for the recipient when he reads her replies. But he's gone and made her fall in love with the playboy, so that sucks.

I usually find Jennifer Jones to be rather dull (e.g. Love is a Many Splendored Thing and A Farewell to Arms). She's still kinda blank here, but since she's playing an amnesiac, it works in her favor a bit.

Gets wrapped up a bit too neatly in the end -- not great by any means, but pretty good.
