Product Description

Product description

Brand NewStarring Campbell Scott and Jennifer Jason LeighRunning Time: 98 minutesTranscending the dimension of time, a love letter found in an antique desk magically seals the fate of two young people linked by destiny, yet separated by more than 100 years. A young man discovers a letter written by a mysterious woman named Lizzie, who lived long ago, and feels compelled to write to her. Correspondence ensues and grows into a love so powerful not even the years can keep them apart. Spanning the Civil War to the present, the perils of Lizzie's war-torn situation threaten her safe passage into the future. Will their love endure the test of time?

Amazon.com

No one with romantic tendencies will be able to resist The Love Letter. Campbell Scott plays a Civil War buff who buys a desk from that era. While polishing it, he discovers a secret compartment, in which sits an unmailed letter--a letter written by a young woman named Lizzie (Jennifer Jason Leigh) over a century earlier. Touched by her yearning for passion, he writes her back, egged on by his mystically inclined mother (Estelle Parsons). Magically his letter reaches Lizzie and they begin a correspondence that threatens Scott's impending marriage but promises to bring fulfilment to Lizzie. The Love Letter is absurd, yet somehow that doesn't stop it from being completely engaging and even moving. Scott and Parsons are solid, while Jason Leigh is downright rapturous--the movie may owe its success to her. The plot has surprising twists and the conclusion is sweet and satisfying. An unexpected pleasure. --Bret Fetzer

Good movie, damaged case
I ordered this because I really enjoy the movie; however, the box arrived damaged which was very frustrating. The disc appears to play fine, so that’s good. But multiple damages? Not cool.

    I've reviewed this before--one of my favorite "go to" movies when I need a break from today's messed-up world. Love the storyline and costumes--and of course the romance. A "girly" movie for sure and made when Hallmark had original ideas.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely expansion of the original Jack Finney short story
    Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2006
    Verified Purchase
    This is another love across time classic in the vein of The Two Worlds of Jennie Logan, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, Portrait of Jennie, Somewhere in Time and last and certainly not least Dark Shadows. I mention Dark Shadows specifically because this film was directed by Dan Curtis who was the creator of Dark Shadows. He is a director who understands how compelling and how romantic lovers separated by the distance of yesterday and tomorrow can be for emotional storytelling. As much as this was a Jack Finney story it is classically a Dan Curtis story as well. All the true themes of Dark Shadows are in this movie. The importance of true love, the pain of its unfulfillment, the artifacts that bridge the gap between the lovers, the themes of reincarnation and how people sense their connections when they meet. When Elizabeth meets the man who Scotty had been in a past life, they seem to sense that connection. In true Dan Curtis style loves from the past always look like the people they will be in the future so it was a nice touch when she finally sees Scotty's photo and recognises her soldier. Or when Scotty meets the girl who looks like Elizabeth at the cemetery.

    It is also quite appealing to see how not just Elizabeth and Scotty's desk bring them together but the house in which Elizabeth lived in was itself a place where the veil of the past and present was very thin.

    What really helped the story was the reaction of Scotty's 20th Century fiancee to discovering she had lost him to a woman of the 1860's. And to be there and hear the letter pop into the desk and pull it out and see the shock on her face. It's more than her conventional mind can handle and she is the most tragic figure of all.

    Other classic Dan Curtis touches: the music was by Robert Cobert who did the music for Dark Shadows. It had both the light airy quality and the dramatic sense of the past his music had been for that fabled tv show. I'm not sure how to describe it exactly, but there's a certain look to Curtis's films. I felt like if Scotty had wanted to, he could have driven to Collinsport, Maine and looked up the Collins family. A conversation between Barnabas Collins and Scotty about the nature of love and time would have been quite interesting. Well, to me at least.

    When I was first taping this movie on CBS, five people called me to make sure I was watching it. Recently, I bought a replacement copy from Amazon which I recieved today.

    And I hardly ever watch romantic fantasy. Sad and uplifting at the same time. The acting from all was beyond what can often be expected from a Hallmark movie. I highly recommend if you also like Civil War era movies.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Student review of The Love Letter
    Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2004
    Verified Purchase
    The love letter is an amazingly romantic movie based on the story by Jack Finney. The film takes place in two time periods: contemporary Boston and the Boston of the Civil War era. The film is great to experience for its historically accurate scenes, surprising turns of plot, and the magical excitement of an improbable love across time.

    The film partly takes place during the Civil War and depends on everything being correct for that period of time. The film doesn't disappoint: the letters that are written by Elizabeth Witcomb are of an antique and formal style that seems so correct to the period. Her writing is not at all like the common English spoken today. The dresses worn by the women were of the large hoop-style that was so common in that time. On the dirt and cobble roads, horses drew all the carriages. There was not a single car. The careful attention to details helps make the movie more exciting.

    It may be difficult to imagine that passionate love can exist across the time span of a hundred years. The Love Letter delights in that problem but answers only with an exquisite revelation of nature of true love. The plot constantly surprises even those who have read original story, but you'll need to see that!

    This is the kind of film that can be enjoyed by anybody who has been in love or desires the perfect love. It is appropriate for any age. It is inspired and inspiring. Don't miss this movie!

    5.0 out of 5 stars A great Seller and a very good movie!

    I had originally seen 'The Love Letter' many years ago and loved it, so I was very happy when I found it for sale here on Amazon! It's a favourite of mine, as well as 'Somewhere In Time'. They're both great movies about time travel.

    Just bare in mind that this is an older movie, so the picture quality isn't going to be perfect, like the movies of today.

    The Seller shipped it right away and it arrived in good time. Also, it was carefully packaged and therefore was in perfect condition. The Seller also provided tracking and even attached a friendly note to the front of the movie, telling me to let them know if I had any problems with it. They also stated they hoped I would enjoy it! I thought that was a very nice gesture! The disc played perfectly fine, so I'm very happy with my purchase!. I also wouldn't hesitate to buy from this Seller again in the future.

    I had this film on video years ago and loved it, so pleased to see it now on DVD region 2 at last. I did pay more than several others say they paid but still think it is worth it. One of the other reviewers said she was unhappy because it wasn't in English but it is, there are options of Danish, Swiss and Swedish which do come up first but just go into main menu and press play for the English version.

    First saw this on channel 5 year ago.
    When it finally came out on region 2 and at the great price of £8, i grabbed at the chance to own it.
    Classic tale of love crossing space and time, and a happy ending to boot.
    What could be better then settling on the sofa with your girlfriends, some wine and chocolate and get swept away in the possibilities of love conquering all.
    Would recommend to all those who love a good old fashioned romance.

    I don't like weird movies. When I read the storyline of this movie, I hesitated to buy it, even though my husband and I are fans of Hallmark Hall of Fame movies. I thought it might be weird. I'm so glad I decided to give it a try. It has become one of my favorite romance movies. The writer manages to weave the lives of a man and a woman together across time, as they lived over 100 years apart. The story is fascinating and intriguing. How can this happen? How will it end? Clean. No profanity. Good acting. Wonderful love story.

    My ultimate favorite movie of all "times". Soul mates, past lives, parallel lives, love story.... beautifully executed on film.... my only suggestion would be to turn the volume up during the last 5 minutes of the movie, because, for some reason, it's lower at the end of the movie than any other time during the movie. And there are key pieces to the conversation that you don't want to miss as it ties the whole movie together into a beautifully produced masterpiece.
