I've been suggesting it on TCM.com for years, but they won't play it so far. Wonderful little read. This Norman Krasna play of the war era was a surprising Broadway hit and makes for an above average domestic comedy where surprising performances and a charming light-heartedness make it much better than predicted. Dear Ruth. A great family film. There were two sequels and they were also really great. Thus, the inspiration for his character's name in "Catcher in the Rye", Holden Caulfield. But the place was ripe for it, with a cast of characters that make up one of the zaniest sane families of film. If you have a moment and have seen this film, please suggest it on TCM.com. A family is befuddled when a World War II serviceman shows up to meet and marry his pen pal sweetheart. Her first novel won the Romance Writers of America’s prestigious Golden Heart Award, and two of her books were finalists in RWA's RITA™ and Daphne du Maurier awards. Marvelously executed comedy.

Dear Ruth, RIP. I recently had the opportunity to see this film as what a delight! September 18, 2018 - November 13, 2018 By Norman Krasna Directed by Cambrian James Run Time: 2 hours and 15 minutes A love struck soldier returns home from the war with one thing on his mind: Ruth. The movie is full of witty lines, amusing performance all kept at a fast pace that would just crack you up all the way till the very last minute of the feature.

It is here where Patrick meets, Ruth a new member of staff. home * add a production * awards about/help follow us AboutTheArtists log in or register; my account; log out; The Production History of the World Every Theatre Credit Ever. Label: Southern (5) - 101 • Format: Vinyl 7 The Buccaneers - Dear Ruth / Fine Brown Frame (Vinyl) | Discogs I just realized that its almost 70 years since this movie has been out and this got me compelled to write a review as it may easily be missed out on with time. I really do love Bronwyn Parry's books but this was just a vehicle to promote her novels. You may have seen her in Plaza’s first production of DEAR RUTH as the younger sister, Miriam. I though this movie very good. So, Ruth is a ruse of sorts, impersonated in the mail by her well-meaning and precocious teenage sister, Miriam. It seems Miriam used her sister's name and picture to build up wartime morale.

Thank you. Bedlam breaks loose around the Wilkins household over the next two days. Was this review helpful? A hilarious movie with great screenplay and wonderful actors. Published It changes and turns into a couple who are trying to find a killer who are the first mans daughter and her husband.

Shortly after arriving home, Patrick attends a dance that is being held in the school hall. Everyone's in the dark about the romance by mail. I will watch this movie every time it comes on TV. Those characters were mostly insipid twits whose depth was puddle deep and whose only purpose was to be pleasant and smiling. Freeman's interaction with her dad, Edward Arnold, is universal and timeless. If anyone out there is listening, we want this film on DVD!!!! Dear Ruth by Bronwyn Parry is a short story that packs in quite a punch! This movie has some of the best dialog. Shame I've never heard of this one before. This is my absolute favorite movie. If you like romantic comedies, this is the movie for you. On Broadway Dear Ruth by Norman Krasna debuted on December 13, 1944 and ran for 680 performances until 1946. This films was packed with great stars and a very funny storyline. Even more so because of the "place" of women in the 1940's. Was this review helpful? Which isn't a bad thing but, please, if you are going to write a short story, at least give us something that resembles a story. Again, it is one of William Holden's most romantic, sweetest roles. Caulfield has somehow became engaged to bank executive Billy De Wolfe, a stuffy older man who gives impressions of interests other than in women, especially when being offered a drink and asked if he'd like it "straight".

Ruth Wilkins, reserved and proper, has just now gotten engaged to sour bank executive, Albert Kummer (Billy de Wolfe, who was born exasperated). I saw this movie many years ago and hardly remember anything, except loving it. Dear Ruth | Comedy. Was this review helpful? Who should show up but Ruth's soldier pen pal Bill Seacroft...whom she doesn't know about. "Smiling Jim" was William Holden's disparaging name for the characters he was usually assigned throughout the 1940's. Was this review helpful? With Joan Caulfield, William Holden, Mona Freeman, Edward Arnold. This was hardly worth turning the Kindle on for. She had admirers all around her, everyone was having a wonderful time, laughing and dancing the night away. It was unforgettable! Was this review helpful? They used to play it on the old movie chancels pretty often, but I have not seen it in a while. A bombardier in the U.S. Army Air Corps, Lt. William Seacroft has flown from Italy on a two-day leave. One of the most delightfully hilarious movies ever made. a love story i can see repeated in some modern movies too such as "you've got mail".....i wonder how many times letters were written during the war under false pretenses....its story plot is simple: Ruth's younger sibling writes letters to a serviceman in her name and he learns to care for her...Ruth losing her heart in spite of herself seems to sum it all up... 3 out of 3 found this helpful.

what a wonderful movie and how handsome does that William Holden look??
