6.5 / 10 · TMDB

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?

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film exists at its own rhythm. Doesn't rush the viewer, doesn't suggest how to react — trusts its own material.

If the genre speaks to you — worth watching. If not — not the most obvious choice, but a pleasant surprise isn't impossible.

For those who appreciate genre cinema made with intelligence and without snobbery.

Director: Dan Curtis
