Customer Reviews:
Beautiful, innocent and enchanting movie.September 21, 2008 FAMOUS NAME(UNITED KINGDOM) To call this a 'Ghost Story' would be inappropriate because it isn't 'spooky' but rather sad - yet very beautiful too.
Probably one of the most beautiful and enchanting stories attributed to a dead person coming back to haunt the living in a very benign way. Jennifer Jones plays a child who 'stumbles' into the life of 'Eben Adams' (Joseph Cotton) and makes a wish that he will wait for her to 'grow up'. This story could not be done today for all its disgusting connotations of the modern societies obsession, but works beautifully for the period in which the movie is made. 'Eben' is visited by 'Jennie' periodically as she grows and matures in years, but is only a matter of days or weeks for 'Adams'. The shocking news for him is when he finds out quite by chance from an old nun that the girl died years ago...
A truly lovely and 'innocent' picture about love and lonely people.
