I lost my IMDb sign in and can not seem to find my review for this movie! So, having watched it again now I just have to say what a wonderful movie this is! Betty White is superb! Also, Jennifer Love Hewitt gives a wonderful performance! I love Hallmark movies because they just seem to have such enjoyable stories and terrific actors that bring them to life! Having said this, sometimes they can be a little over the top and maybe pour on the sentiment too strongly where I catch myself rolling my eyes. But, I am most often moved to tears or find myself laughing out loud. This film is one of the more touching ones. It really got me the first time and after watching again I felt moved enough to sign on here again to write this review.
This is a wonderful movie. Betty White is amazing in this part. She is just spectacular. I was totally captivated by her performance. Jennifer Love Hewitt is also very good. She is very believable as a young woman who is conflicted about her future - am I ready for marriage - is he the one I want to be with for the rest of my life - etc. The only error I see is a small one. When the young couple is fixing up their house, she is wearing a button-front dress that is unbuttoned up to her hip. Her panties are revealed for the whole neighborhood to see. In the 1940's a respectable young wife would not go around dressed like this. She may leave a button or two unbuttoned to show some leg, but she would not unbutton her dress so high that her panties are revealed.
Superb Bette White leads an equally phenomenal cast in this Hallmark Film about a lost love. Despite the fact that her husband has been missing for 66 years, Caroline Thomas still faithfully waits for him at Union Station each Valentine's Day. This recounts their separation when he went off to be a navy pilot during World War 11 and never returned. Their romance, marriage and year together are vividly remembered.A young reporter wishing to do a documentary on the subject falls for Caroline's grandson and love abounds in a new generation. Isn't this the same old story? However, it's so well done here.White reminds me of Gloria Stuart recounting a lost love in "Titanic." These films are so poignantly done.The ending, providing closure, will forever tug at your heart.
Saddest movie I've ever seen. Betty White's best acting. Yu think of her as the funny girl from Golden Girls, but no, she can be real dramatic when she needs to be. Jennifer L.H, also did great, and so did the rest of the actors. I hope that Betty White will stay around longer to be in more serious movies, but I have a feeling that 2011 will be her year(notice how the golden grils are dieing in a row). At least she did perfect in this movie. At least the super bowl will be coming soon, and we're sure to see more of her. I do hope to see more of Jennifer Love, too. She was the perfect actor for a reporter, and whoever played Betty's character's husband was pretty good, too.
