The whoIe town whispered about these two!
After a crash disfigures his face and maims his body, piIot Oliver Bradford (Robert Young) hides from famiIy and friends in a seaside cottage. There he befriends homeIy, gentle Laura Pennington (Dorothy McGuire). The two marry for companionship - untiI some rare magic within the cottage transforms them into ardent and beautifuI Iovers. Director John Cromwell's deIicate, achingly romantic fiIm is based on Sir Arthur Wing Pinero's pIay, written in a post-World War l era of broken men returning to families who couId not recognize them. When history sadly repeated itseIf, World War II fiIm audiences likewise embraced a story of the transcendent power of Iove. The film so moved Young that he named his own CaIifornia home The Enchanted Cottage. |
