On 2010-03-21 Geary A., Jones, wrote: Joseph Cotten and Jennifer Jones deliver exceptional performances ( as do Ethel Barrymore, and Lillian Gish ) in this atmospheric, love story. The opening narrative, and some of the cumbersome dialogue that Jones, in particular, occasionally was forced to utter in the film is allayed by her, otherwise, very convincing depiction of the ´hauntingly,´ beautiful, other-worldly, Jenny at various ages. Cotten, as a struggling artist, whose cynicism is more a mask for his innate romanticism, than his poverty, was never better. The chemistry between the two leads is magical. The cinematography is luscious, surreal, and sumptuously layers this dream-like story of obsession, and doomed love.

Starring Joseph Cotten (Citizen Kane) and OscarÂ(r) winner* Jennifer Jones (A Farewell to Arms) in a ´sensitive, appealing performance (The Hollywood Reporter), this ´tender [and] poetic (Variety) tale is enthralling from its touching beginning to its haunting conclusion. When struggling artist Eben Adams (Cotten) meets the beautiful and mysterious Jennie (Jones), he is instantly captivated. Before long, Jennie has become his great muse and he is enjoying success and bliss beyond his dreams. But there is a price to pay for such elation, and soon Eben must face the truth about who Jennie really is. *1943: Actress, The Song of Bernadette
