Since You Went Away
A love story of today's love and laughter
Directed by John Cromwell
Produced by Selznick International Pictures
A tender, home-front drama centered on family bonds and quiet resilience, where wartime absence becomes the backdrop for intimate human connection and growth.
In 1943, several people enter, re-enter, and exit the difficult life of a Midwestern family whose patriarch has been called up to war, leaving behind his wife and two teen daughters.
