Random Harvest
directed by: Mervyn Le Roy
Metro Goldwyn Mayer, 1942 |
| This is an incredibly contagious melodrama which I can watch
again and again. Smithy, is a WWI soldier who is injured and in
an asylum with no memory. He breaks out and meets Paula, a music
hall actress played by Greer Garson, who takes him in. They move
to a lovely cottage, marry and have a son. Although Smithy cannot
remember anything about his past they are happy beyond all dreams.
He takes to writing and one day, he learns that his work is to
be published. He travels to Liverpool and is in an accident which
restores the memory of his previous life. Unfortunately, he forgets
about his current life and goes back to his old life of the privileged
upper class. Paula must find him and when she does he has no memory
of her. What happens next is why this film is truly worth watching. |
