The White Cliffs of Dover
The greatest love story of our time!
Directed by Clarence Brown
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
A sweeping wartime romance and family drama that traces one woman's sacrifice and enduring love across two world wars, balancing intimate emotional bonds with the weight of historical tragedy.
American Susan travels with her father to England for a vacation. Invited to a society ball, Susan meets Sir John Ashwood and marries him after a whirlwind romance. However, she never quite adjusts to life as a new member of the British gentry. At the outbreak of World War I, John is sent to the trenches and never returns. When her son goes off to fight in World War II, Susan fears the same tragic fate may befall him too.
