From Hollywood, the Screen Director's Playhouse. Director's Playhouse, star Joseph Cotton. Production, love letters. Director William Dieterly. The Hollywood Screen Director's presented tale for the Romantic Heart. Love letters.
Starring Joseph Cotton in his original role of Alan Quinton. Italy, the war. I didn't really hear the explosion. German shells slamming into a squad of British infantry.
I didn't hear it, but as my body lifted, I knew that perhaps I was going to die. And for an instant I saw a face I'd never seen, and heard a voice I had never heard.
In that instant, when my soul stretched out before me, I knew my love for Victoria. We had never met, but I loved her. Then the darkness came, and the world was dressed in darkness. Dressed in darkness.
Your bandages are dressed for another day, Captain Quinton. Thank you, Nurse. Now I have a surprise for you. A letter from your mother and father. It's very nice. Don't you want to read it? You read it to me.
Very well. Our dearest son. This marks the fourth week since you were wounded, and we both opened presents. That is from home, sweet, consoling, and so very, very useless. I'd written her so many and she never knew.
Love letters and the officers club in Rome and Roger Moreland. Good Lord, Adam, you look as if you're writing your last will in Testament. Do I, Roger? Look, you're writing my letter over my name to my girl, who's silly enough to light your sort of bilge. So stop steaming and read me that last page.
All right, Roger. read me that last page. Alright, Roger. Victoria, I think of you my dearest. There's a distant promise of beauty untouched by the world. If I never see you again. Well, go on. Roger, I'm sorry we ever started this business.
