Young Widow (1946) |

1h 40min. // After Joan’s (Jane Russell) husband dies in the war, Joan feels she will never love again. Until she meets Lt. Jim Cameron (Louis Hayward). She shrugs him off as a man trying too hard to win her affection, but will she give him a second chance when they meet again?

This is a lovely film and one of Jane Russell’s first. Louis and Jane have such lovely chemistry together and the supporting cast is wonderful as well. Fun fact: Jane developed a crush on Louis while filming!
