About Random Harvest

The ultimate tearjerker, this 1942 romance classic directed by Mervyn LeRoy (based on a novel by James Hilton) stars Ronald Colman as a British army officer suffering from amnesia after World War I. After falling in love with and marrying a dance-hall singer (Greer Garson), Colman's happy character begins a career as a writer and doesn't seem to mind that he doesn't remember who he is. A car accident changes all that, however, causing the hero's memory to return and making him forget all about his lovely cottage and bride. LeRoy modulates the obvious suspense element in the story (for example, is Colman going to remember Greer or not?) extremely well, building ever-so-deliciously slowly toward a huge payoff. This is one of the great date movies of all time. --Tom Keogh Amazon.com

I ordered this movie to give as a gift. It arrived promptly, but I can only assume it was a quality DVD because I haven't heard anything from the recipient yet. October 30, 2008

This is a lovely story of how true love will always win. It may be a classic but it still grabs your attention and brings you into the life of these two people and you are just hanging to the edge of the couch towards the end to see if...Well I can't tell you or it would ruin the movie. Let's just say that the fact tht this movie is in black and white will not affect the way you see the movie. October 28, 2008

This has always been one of my favorite movies. After reading the book, I did notice a few differences, but the performances of Greer Garson and Ronald Coleman made it very appealing and they worked so well together that they pulled it off beautifully. I have always been a big fan of Greer Garson, and she fit the role of "Paula/Margaret" to a "T".
The other members, of the cast, were also excellent, in their parts. August 13, 2008
