Fifteen: Tomorrow is Forever

Making a top 15 classic movies list! Woo.
Tomorrow is Forever
The actors: Starring Claudette Colbert, Orson Welles, and little Natalie Wood.
The plot: A young married couple says goodbye to each other as John leaves for the war. Elizabeth continues living life waiting for her husband to return until the fateful day where she learns that her husband, John, is dead. After a period of mourning Elizabeth remarries and has a family of her own. Meanwhile, John, who now goes by the name of Erik, has spent the last 20 years of his life as a disfigured man in Europe. Erik returns to he and Elizabeth's new house, with his own adopted daughter. I won't spoil the ending because I know all of you are going to go out and watch it as soon as possible!
Why do I like it?: First off, I am a huge fan of Orson Welles. Though at first I was hesitant to watch it because, let's face it, Orson had to be in a lot of bad movies to make his films. Fortunately, Tomorrow is Forever isn't one of the bad ones. I also like it because of the love story it portrays. Choices are made that one wouldn't think would be made.... It's a very sad Christmas movie. It's really almost too sad to be considered a Christmas movie. Regardless, I love it and it's number fifteen on my list.

I tried finding a trailer or something of the movie but all I could find was the entire movie... so I guess here's your chance to watch it if you're interested!
