Portrait of Jennie
Portrait of Jennie ★★★½ Jennie; Tidal Wave 1948
In this haunting, romantic fable, a struggling artist is inspired by and smitten with a strange and beautiful girl who he also suspects may be the spirit of a dead woman. A fine cast works wonders with what could have been a forgettable story. The last reel was tinted green in the original release with the last scene shot in technicolor. Oscar-winning special effects. Based on a novella by Robert Nathan. 86m/B VHS, DVD . Joseph Cotten, Jennifer Jones, Cecil Kellaway, Ethel Barrymore, David Wayne, Lillian Gish, Henry Hull, Florence Bates, Felix Bressart, Anne Francis; D: William Dieterle; W: Leonardo Bercovici, Peter Berneis, Paul Osborn; C: Joseph August; M: Dimitri Tiomkin. Venice Film Fest. '49: Actor (Cotten).
