NOTES |
Rather odd
melodrama which starts with a soldier writing love |
|
letters for
another soldier while serving in Italy. The second |
|
soldier on
returning home marries the woman who has fallen |
|
in love with
his letters. But he turns out to be a violent drunk. |
|
He is killed
by her stepmother. The shock results in amnesia |
|
for the
wife, and then the stepmother has a stroke which |
|
leaves her
speaking impaired. The wife is accused of her |
|
husband's
murder and sentenced. But the soldier who wrote |
|
the letters
hears about the murder and comes to the rescue. |
|
From the
book by Chris Massie, Pity, Mr. Simplicity. |
