Portrait of Jennie (1948)

This Italian poster for Portrait of Jennie is so much prettier than the U.S. poster. This movie is super weird – but then turns out to be a sort of typical romantic fantasy. It's interested in time and long life and haunting, like The Ghost and Mrs. Muir from the year before but without the humor and charm of the earlier film. Still, there's something that gets under your skin about Portrait of Jennie. And in many ways the film is this odd portrait of a sad young woman who never found what she was looking for. The more I think about it the more I like it.
