Appreciation of the Waterloo Bridge
Directed by Mervyn LeRoy, based on Robert Sherwood's play, with a screenplay by S.N. Behrman, Hans Rameau, and George Froeschel, this classic, tear-jerking wartime love story, starring Robert Taylor and Vivien Leigh, was Oscar nominated for its Cinematography and Original Musical Score.
Leigh plays a melancholy dancer, Myra, who meets soldier Roy Cronin (Taylor) during an air raid in World War I London, just before he's to be shipped off to the front. Given a 48-hour leave, the carefree and romantic Roy, captivated by her beauty, sweeps Myra off her feet until she too is optimistic about their future. He receives permission from his uncle, the Duke, to marry her. Unfortunately, due to some officialese, they are unable to get married before Roy must leave for France. Myra attempts to return to the ballet, but her tough boss refuses to accept her back into the company, and fires fellow dancer Kitty for her outburst in support of her friend.
