Synopsis!
"The White Cliffs of Dover" is a 1944 film made by Loew's and MGM. It was directed by Clarence Brown and produced by Clarence Brown and Sidney Franklin. The screenplay was by Claudine West, Jan Lustig and George Froeschel, based on the Alice Duer Miller poem entitled The White Cliffs with additional poetry by Robert Nathan.

Plot!
It tells the story of an American girl who travels abroad to England and falls in love with an English aristocrat. The girl marries the Englishman but their honeymoon is cut short on its first day as World War I breaks out. The husband goes to war in France, sees his bride only once more and then is killed in action near the end of the war. In the meantime the wife has his son, that she raises along with the father's mother. A scene in the movie approximating the early 30s shows adolescent German boys, part of an exchange program, visitng the English family's country estate. Insinuating they were part of early Nazi invasion plans, the movie has the boys let it slip in conversation that they are contemplating how the estate's large lawns would be ideal for troop gliders to land on.

[Rena1934]

@irishamrep could you please tell me the name of that book? I'd like to read it

[irishamrep]

@dezinator Yes, everything I have learned abot her and her life seems to be the efinition of Integrity!

[dezinator]

@irishamrep I've heard mostly negative things about Spencer in his private life... he was such an awful man sometimes! The only good thing was that he was such a good actor... but I read all about what he did to Irene. How horrible because she seemed like such a sweet human being!

[4MaryAnna]

I read a different book that said he disliked her straight away,which is too bad.I can certainly believe that Irene Dunne never spoke out against him later on.
