Love Letters (1945)

Warning: Spoilers
A soldier writes letter on behalf of another soldier to a lady. The latter marries her and dies soon afterward, allegedly killed by his wife.

How convenient for Jennifer Jones, who uses her simplistic approach to acting as she did two years before this in "The Song of Bernadette," to have amnesia and not not remember what had occurred.

Of course, Jones, with an entirely new name meets the man who originally wrote the letters-Joseph Cotten.

They wed and slowly but surely Jones realizes what has occurred. Of course, the only difference here is the real killer emerges and wait until you see who this is.

Too coincidental, highly uninteresting and an Oscar nomination for Jones as best actress here? No way. Especially, in the year that the winner was Joan Crawford for Mildred Pierce and fellow nominee Gene Tierney for Leave Her to Heaven, hot on her heels.
