Random Harvest ★★★ 1942

A masterful, tearjerking film based on the James Hilton novel. A shellshocked WWI amnesiac meets and is made happy by a beautiful music hall dancer. He regains his memory and forgets about the dancer and their child. This is Garson's finest hour, and a shamelessly potent sobfest. 126m/B VHS, DVD . Greer Garson, Ronald Colman, Reginald Owen, Philip Dorn, Susan Peters, Henry Travers, Margaret Wycherly, Bramwell Fletcher; D: Mervyn LeRoy; W: Claudine West, George Froeschel, Arthur Wimperis; C: Joseph Ruttenberg; M: Herbert Stothart.
