I’ll Be Seeing You

I’ll Be Seeing You (1944) starring Joseph Cotten, Ginger Rogers, Shirley Temple

In short, I‘ll Be Seeing You is a wonderful film.  It’s set towards the end of World War II. A veteran (played very well by Joseph Cotten) is suffering from what we would now call PTSD.  He’s jumping at any sound, and thinks that he’s likely to be attacked at any moment. His doctors at the VA are letting him out from the psych ward …. In order to see how well he’s able to function in normal society. On his train ride, he meets a beautiful young lady (played very well by Ginger Rogers). She’s a lady who’s also out on furlough — from prison.

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas lyrics — originally sung by Judy Garland in ‘Meet Me in St. Louis’, but oddly enough the song didn’t become truly popular until it was rewritten for and recorded by Frank Sinatra
