The Enchanted Cottage
1945 · TMDB 7.4
Directed by John Cromwell
A homely maid and a scarred ex-GI meet at the cottage where she works and where he was to spend his honeymoon prior to his accident. The two develop a bond and agree to marry, more out of loneliness than love. The romantic spirit of the cottage, however, overtakes them. They soon begin to look beautiful to each other, but no one else.
Why it matters
A disfigured war veteran and a plain young woman find love in a secluded cottage, where their inner beauty transforms their outward appearance.
