Product Description

From Amazon.com

No one with romantic tendencies will be able to resist The Love Letter. Campbell Scott plays a Civil War buff who buys a desk from that era. While polishing it, he discovers a secret compartment, in which sits an unmailed letter--a letter written by a young woman named Lizzie (Jennifer Jason Leigh) over a century earlier. Touched by her yearning for passion, he writes her back, egged on by his mystically inclined mother (Estelle Parsons). Magically his letter reaches Lizzie and they begin a correspondence that threatens Scott's impending marriage but promises to bring fulfilment to Lizzie. The Love Letter is absurd, yet somehow that doesn't stop it from being completely engaging and even moving. Scott and Parsons are solid, while Jason Leigh is downright rapturous--the movie may owe its success to her. The plot has surprising twists and the conclusion is sweet and satisfying. An unexpected pleasure. --Bret Fetzer

From the Back Cover

Transcending the dimension of time, a love letter found in a secret compartment of an antique desk magically seals the fate of two young people linked by destiny yet separated by more than one hundred years. When Scotty (Cambell Scott-Dying Young) discovers a poignant letter written by a mysterious woman called Lizzie (Jennifer Jason Leigh-N.Y. Film critics Award for Georgia), he cannot get her out of his mind. Putting thoughts of his upcoming wedding aside, he is compelled to write Lizzie a letter of his own. A romantic correspondence ensues and flourishes into a love so powerful, not even a century and a half of time can keep them apart. Spanning an era from the Civil War to the present day, the perils of Lizzie's war torn present threaten her safe passage into the future. Would their love be strong enough to endure the test of time?

5.0 out of 5 stars a beautiful romance, Jan 10 2004
By 
Michael Wheeler "Stratocaster" (Las Vegas, Nevada United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Love Letter (Full Screen) (Hallmark Hall of Fame) (DVD)
There are romance movies that are fun, and others that haunt you. This is one of the few romance movies I have ever seen that
does just that.
Jennifer Jason Leigh who plays Elizabeth Whitcomb is stunning and makes the movie the work of art that it is.
It starts out with Scotty (Campbell Scot) purchasing an antique desk at a local shop.
He goes into the antique shop so his fiancee can look at a wedding dress that catches her eye, for their upcoming wedding.
He gets the desk home and finds a secret compartment with a letter that she has written to an unknown love. He also finds ink and additional envelopes along with some stationary that is enscribed with her name. As a joke he writes a letter and sends a reply to the woman. Much to his surprise he finds a reply from her the following day. Before long he is writing Elizabeth, despite the diffence in time. The letter that she sent in fact is meant for him, as he learns later. They have no chance of ever meeting. As they are writing, she is sending her poetry as well. As he reads the letters and poetry he finds himself (although engaged) falling in love with Elizabeth. As he tries to shake the correspondance off, he finds his love for her is genuine.
If you have ever seen "Somewhere in Time" this movie will haunt you in a similar way.
As in "Somewhere in Time if you can get past the flaws in the time links or time travel, you will find a movie that will grab you. Once this movie grabs you it wont let you go.
This is about love from two people but the love defies time.
This is not strictly a "chick flick". Men who enjoy romance movies will enjoy this also. Jennfer Jason Leigh plays her part to perfection in a time when life was more simple and values were different than today. The desk in many ways symbolizes a time that is now past.
The ending is very good and will probably make you cry.
My advice to you is watch this with your spouse or that special friend. This is the kind of romance that rarely see and would love to see more often. This movie is wholesome and has no nudity or profanity. It is a movie the entire family can enjoy.
I can assure you that you will watch it many times
I would recommend it to anyone and everyone. Sit back and enjoy. You dont see these too often.

5.0 out of 5 stars metaphysical magic, Nov 1 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Love Letter (VHS Tape)
Seldom is there a movie so wonderful for the "new age" or exHippie spiritual person.Here is the cause and effect and wonder of reincarnation done with both the past unresolved sorrow and hope and future of things working out at long long last after the confusion of whats going on in the 'here and now'.Not everyone wins in this round just like reality!This movie is fun and romantic and even has realistic historical references.Don't give up until the very end!!!!very nice!
