      Audience Member good remake of a silent good stuff 4 WWII audiences Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Awe, how adorable. A woman puts a letter in a shirt pocket that was sent out to a soldier, hoping to meet a decent guy. The soldier who writes back is the friend of the recipient and not the guy she pictured at all. WHen they meet, he lies about his identity after seeing the disappointed look on her face. How terrible :( Very cute movie though Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Beautiful!!!! Such a great movie.
