Review of Random Harvest (1942) by Rebecca P — 15 Mar 2010
Beautiful acting from iconic Greer Garson and Ronald Colman. A WWI vet has been hospitalized with amnesia for a long time, and runs away from the hospital. A beautiful performer hides him from the authorities.
They fall in love, get married, and have a son. Unfortunately he is conked on the head, and remembers his former life, and forgets his family. Years later she finds him, but does not tell him she is his wife.
She works for him for years as his secretary hoping he will love her again. He offers her a loveless marriage of political convenience, which is so heartbreaking. She marries him hoping he will remember and love her again.
Every day of hoping slowly wears down her spirit. A happy coincedence of being in the same town they were years later slowly brings back the lost memories. I love happy endings.
