Movie #3490 ........................."The Lost Valentine" (Hallmark)

 Movie #3490 "The Lost Valentine" (Hallmark)  This is a Jennifer Love Hewitt production  with Betty White at her best, I think.  This is a great story, a tearjerker , coming out of WWII.  Hewitt plays a journalist searching for a story and think she finds one in this grandma, who visits a train terminal every Valentine's Day since her husband was labelled "missing" in the war --- she waits for him to come home.  This truly is a 66 year-old love story long waiting to be told.  It brought me to tears at the end.  I give it 4.5 out of 5.

"THE LOST VALENTINE"         2011     1 hour and 27 mins   Hallmark

Lucan Thomas's grandmother Caroline returns every Valentine's Day to the station where, at their first wedding anniversary, she waved off to the Pacific Theater of War in 1944 her husband Neill, a US navy pilot who is still officially missing in action.  Lucas, a former baseball star and reputable physiotherapist about to publish, tells the story to a station manager who assigns the item to Susan Allison.  She gets involved and befriends Caroline, but resists her crush on Lucas on account of an already soulless engagement with international reporter Andrew Hawthorne.   Caroline's mild cardiac crisis seems to run everything.
