I enjoyed this movie from start to finish. I'm a big fan of WWII era movies and this production captures the era beautifully. How refreshing to watch a movie without sex, violence and special effects which is about the only thing the rot coming out of Hollywood these days is capable of delivering. So, if you want to see a film with authentic sets and costumes and values of the period, plus a heart warming plot (albeit nothing very original) don't miss Beautiful Dreamer. The cast was excellent and the all the characters seemed like real people. Honestly, I don't see why anyone would give this movie a low rating.

There's a lot to make fun of while you watch it. The scenes are extremely short. There's tons of cheesy layover transitions. The music is a keyboard cheesefest. The directing is awful. The main male character is probably the worst actor ever. There's a small town patriotism that's nauseating. The script is like a high school kid wrote it. The main woman's character always suppressed whatever she was dealing with and never told anybody about it.I got it because the girl that plays Claire was my babysitter for a little while when I was just a baby. So that made it fun.There's definitely worse love stories out there that I couldn't sit through, but this one was terrible in a fun way. you and your other can just make stupid comments to each other.

From the opening sequence, Beautiful Dreamer tells a charming and touching story of the war years, only this was World War II. The marvelous cinematography and splendid music takes you back to that other time and place. Everything looks like old postcards from your grandmother's scrapbook.Claire and Joe, childhood sweethearts, get married and then life is interrupted. The war comes and Joe, a mechanic and pilot, heads off to Europe on a wing and a prayer. His plane is hit and he has to either bail with his crew or try to save a wounded comrade.Claire gets word Joe is Missing in Action. But life must go on. Then she hears from a guy in Joe's unit that Joe didn't die in the crash. Thus begins Claire's search for her heart. She finds him in a small town filled with wonderful people. But he doesn't know her. He doesn't even know himself.His war wounds, the mental scars, if probed could kill him. Claire has to decide if she loves him enough to let him go.Tommy (Joe's new identity) and his partner at a small airfield have a terrific B-24 rusting away on the tarmac. It's broken and not air-worthy, much like Tommy. If they can fix it up, they might save their business. Claire believes it can be fixed. Tommy tells her she's a dreamer.This is a beautiful story filled with charming characters. It takes you to a place you never want to leave.

Inspired by the James Hilton novel "Random Harvest" and the subsequent film staring Greer Garson and Ronald Coleman, this film explores the power of a young woman's determination to find her husband who went missing in World War II. Set in America's heartland of the late '40s, the film maintains the suspenseful romance of a film like "Titanic", yet has the low key visual texture of films such as Driving Miss Daisy or Fried Green Tomatoes.Claire, played by Brooke Langton, abandons common wisdom that she should give her husband up for dead and move on with her life. Instead, she spends all she has to find, then rehabilitate her husband who has no memory of his life prior to the war. It is a story of loyalty and courage that shows that the sexiest part of a woman is the contents of her heart.
