Lydia(a.k.a. "Illusions")
US (1941): Drama/Romance
Being totally, hopelessly (or is it hopefully?) in love, Lydia MacMillen (Merle Oberon) rejects the stability offered by a loyal, devoted suitor and friend for the memory of the one man who made her blood boil. Although he did not return to her, as promised, she thinks of him constantly and dares to cherish the hope that one day he may, after all, return to her. She is an old woman when in fact he does reappear by chance in her life. Pathetically, this is to somehow justify the wasted years. She is trembling with anticipation, ready to learn why he was unable to return to her, eager to forgive him even though it has cost her youth and happiness. Julien Duvivier directs this Korda/UA release that features Edna May Oliver, Alan Marshal, Joseph Cotten, George Reeves and Sara Allgood. (IMDb)
