Summer Under the Stars: Irene Dunne

Star of the Day: Irene Dunne

The White Cliffs of Dover (1944): "An American woman with a British husband fights to keep her family together through two world wars."

A saccharine tale of a woman who loses everything she loves in both world wars, meant to draw on the heartstrings in the vein of Mrs. Miniver. It works, in my opinion, because of Irene Dunne. She had it.
