My
Foolish Heart
|
My Foolish Heart is a downbeat gem of the 1940s, rediscovered by critics in the early '90s. Adapted from a story by J.D. Salinger and directed by Mark Robson, it charts the sombre path of a wartime romance between Susan Hayward and Dana Andrews. Like many romantic melodramas of the post-war period, the plot involves excruciating tangles of frustrated desire, moral responsibility and the everlasting consequences of reckless acts. © Adrian Martin July 1993 |
