This "Hallmark Hall of Fame" romance based on Jack Finney's short story follows two kindred souls living more than a century apart. After history buff Scott Corrigan (Campbell Scott) buys an antique desk, he discovers in it a letter written by Civil War–era bride-to-be Elizabeth Whitcomb (Jennifer Jason Leigh). The poignant missive prompts Scott to mail a response – which Elizabeth shockingly receives, sparking a magical correspondence.
A fun, interesting love story...yet very unusual. Quite a bit like the movie "Lake House". I loved this movie.
