ladyharley88 The movie The Love Letter from Hallmark is one of the best Romantic & intriguing films I've ever seen! I give this a 10 out of 10!The mysteriousness about it all is what captivated me! Campbell Scott & Jennifer Jason Leigh make a great pair! & Estelle Parsons was funny. If in Scotty's shoes, I'd want someone to encourage me like that! I would love to have it on DVD to watch without all the commercials. I've watched it at least 3 times & I think I even have it on VCR tape. If you enjoyed this, as I did, other movies to consider, would be Back to You & Me with Lisa Hartman Black, Dale Midkiff and Rue McClanahan & Straight from the Heart, starring Teri Polo & Andrew McCarthy. Talk about fantastic!

shawe49 I saw this movie a few years ago, and never knew that Dan Curtis had produced it. It definitely was one of the Ageless Love Stories that I hope will continue to grace our Television for many years to come. I remember the excitement I felt waiting for it to come on. I think it was a Sunday night special. I had made myself remember it all week. When it did start, I didn't know exactly how it would work out. If I had known Dan Curtis was involved I could have understood how it could do time travel. It was so intense and so much love that I cried in parts of it. It reminded me of One that Lindesy Wagner played in called The Two lives of Jenny Logan. I also have a favorite, Somewhere in Time that Jayne Semoyre played in with Christopher Reeves. I have another on e that has stayed in my mind for 35 years and I have looked everywhere for a copy of it. Roy Thinnes, 1970 played in 'The Other Man. This was a wonderful movie that I have never forgotten. I have so badly wanted it to be remade with good actors and promoted in a proper way - so it could live on. These shows are what great Love Romances are all about. They should be recognized and set apart to always be remembered. I want to do my part in always remembering them.

kathacts Some might think that this movie might be a little dumb (it's not the most original idea) or way too sentimental, and I'm surprised myself how much I enjoyed it (and continue to enjoy it -- for me, it stands up well to multiple viewings). I would think it owes much of its success to Jennifer Jason Leigh and Campbell Scott-- they're both so charming in their roles and are fully committed to making this fantastical story ring true. I think they are the heart of why I find myself liking this simple movie so very much.Another quality that adds to the enjoyment of the movie is the (seeming) attention to details in recreating Civil War era settings. There are for me a few glitches in the script that detract from the fantastical storyline and which could have been easily fixed to blend realism and fantasy more completely, but these are not large enough to mar the end result.

tcampbell-4 I love "The Love Letter." That is, I love the very short, very romantic short story by Jack Finney. Dan "Dark Shadows, what does that tell you" Curtis produced the TV movie. He cannot resist sensationalizing literary sources. I have, in my mid-seventies high school journal, blow by by blow reactions to watching the affront to Oscar Wllde that was his TV Movie of "Picture of Dorian Grey." I hated it because he changed major characters and situations from the good old Oscar Wilde original.I hated this TV movie, because Curtis padded and distorted a gem of a very short story to sell to Hallmark. I watched it as one would watch a fascinating wreck.Sorry I'm so loyal to original sources. If you're like me, you'll be annoyed by the Walter Wanger 1939 "Wuthering Heights" and treasure the high-Emily Bronte-content early 70's American International version.Romantics--please read "The Love Letter." You'll love it.
