The Enchanted Cottage 08/16/25

Is it a Gothic fairy tale, a fantastic romance, or a backhanded comment about wounded war veterans?  Mutilated flier Robert Young and the ‘unacceptably plain’ (?) Dorothy McGuire find each other in a seaside love nest out of a Harlequin Novel, overcome their self-loathing, and experience a miracle. Why not?  The only witnesses are a blind composer (Herbert Marshall) and a maybe-witch (Mildred Natwick). Poor Hillary Brooke is the fianceé shown the door before you can say ‘Julie Andrews!’  It hasn’t dated well, but it’s still an exceptionally popular romantic fantasy. On Blu-ray from The Warner Archive Collection.
