The Sunday Film presents: Portrait of Jennie

BBC Television
on BBC Television

[Starring] Jennifer Jones and Joseph Cotten

This poetic and imaginative film is the story of a dream-an artist's dream of his ideal. It is also an adventure in time; for the child Jennie, who so quickly grows into the woman Eben Adams loves and who is his inspiration, comes to him out of the past, and he can be re-united with her only after death.
