The Love Letter

20th century computer games designer Scott, Civil War buff, buys an antique desk from that era and, while polishing it, he discovers a secret compartment in which sits an unmailed letter--a letter written by a young poet named Lizzie over a century earlier. Touched by her yearning for passion, he writes her back, egged on by his mystically inclined mother. Magically, his letter reaches Lizzie and they begin a correspondence that threatens Scott's impending marriage but promises to bring fulfilment to Lizzie. Spanning the Civil War to the present, the perils of Lizzie's war-torn situation threaten her safe passage into the future. Will their love endure the test of time?

Love this movie! It has to be one of the best romantic movies I have watched in a long time! I would love to find out how to download the music IN THE MOVIE! I listened to the soundtrack and it doesn't include that beautiful music playing in the background! I know that the composer is Bob Cobert but cannot find the music! Does anyone know where to get it? I enjoy watching fictional love stories which I believe this is! I thought that the acting was fantastic and very heart warming. It has a great ending but I won't tell in detail because I don't want ruin and spoil the ending! I have a deep interest in antiques so the part of the movie regarding the old antique desk fascinated me. The Civil war scenes were wonderful!

This movie, The Love Letter" is one of my all time favorite television favorites. I really loved it...This movie had everything in a plot that I like in a movie...romance, history, and a mysterious twist..what more could one ask for? Additionally, the direction, acting, and dialogue was great. Campbell Scott and Jennifer Jason Leigh are such amazing actors. Although made in 1998, I only first saw the movie on television last year, but I bought a copy and have enjoyed it ever since. As I say, it ranks up there as one of my all-time favorite television romantic movies. I would love to see Hallmark make more of these types of romantic dramas as opposed to the real sappy ones they have been making lately.

I'm not sure I believe anyone that says they like romance, but does not this movie. Is it a little sappy? Yes. Is it unbelievable? Yes. Are Elizabeth's poems a bit treacly? Yes And you know what? Who cares?! It is a very sweet and gentle story. It does remind of an old- fashioned movie, feelings of passion and attraction without flinging everyone into a sexual romp. I also like movies about sexual attraction, but this is a refreshing change. People falling in love with a kindred spirit is unbelievably exciting in its own way.As to some feeling that it is a betrayal for Scotty to feel attraction for Beth at the end of the movie, I heartily disagree. Scotty, very unselfishly helped inspire Elizabeth to escape a vile suitor and loveless marriage; he also helped her find Caleb Denby one last time. I think it's fitting that Elizabeth's spirit helps Scotty find 'a love that burns" at the end.And, to those that slam Elizabeth's poetry as unrealistic and sappy, stop speaking of that which you do not understand. 19th century poetry is often overwrought with emotion and symbolism. In that sense, it is not anachronistic, but very authentic. Read a book sometime!Lastly, this is hot tea and comfy throw on a cold winter afternoon fare. Enjoy it for what it is! I know I will again.

I saw this movie, for the first time, on our TV here recently. I found the storyline very touching, and the Chemistry between the main characters extremely good.The only one small thing I found was that neither the Writers nor the Film Makers could do simple mathematics when it came to how long M/s Elizabeth Whitcomb had been dead. We're told that its over 100 years. The "Love letter" found in the desk was dated 1863, when M/s Whitcomb claims to be 29 years old. On her tomb stone, M/s Whitcomb is said to have died aged 67: some 38 years after she wrote that initial letter. 38 + 63 = 101. Therefore, one has to assume that she actually died in 1901: just 97 years prior to the letter being found, rather than over 100 years as stated several times in the movie. Still, I suppose correct mathematics don't really matter in an item of fiction.Despite the above comment, I very much enjoyed this movie, would love to see it again, would recommend it to anyone who likes a good love story, and yes, I WILL be buying the DVD.GOOD, CLEAN ENTERTAINMENT through and through; for which reason, I gave it 10/10. A GREAT LITTLE MOVIE.
