The Love Letter 1998

Love Letter (1998)     A romantic fantasy based on a short story by Jack Finney, Scot is a young man engaged to be married but he's having second thoughts about the wedding.  He buys an antique desk and finds a letter from a woman named Elizabeth Whitcomb hidden in a secret compartment.  He becomes fascinated by the letter and writes her a reply using antique writing materials.  He's shocked when he receives a reply from the time period of her life in the 19th century.
     Warning, a Hallmark Movie but I found it enjoyable with likeable characters and a different type of romantic plot.  3 1/2* (I liked this movie)

99 min, Drama directed by Dan Curtis with Jennifer Jason Leigh, Estelle Parsons, Campbell Scott Daphne Ashbrook, Myra Carter, Gerrit Graham, Irma P. Hall.

Note:  Blockbuster 2 1/2*, imdb 7.2 out of 10, no critic review 65% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
