Since You Went Away
DramaRomanceWar177 min
In 1943, Anne Hilton is holding together a Midwestern household after her husband is called to war, managing two teenage daughters and the daily strain of the American home front. Claudette Colbert is Anne, trying to keep routine and morale intact as rationing, loneliness, and a new lodger reshape family life. Elder daughter Jane (Jennifer Jones) and younger sister Bridget bring their own worries as people enter, re-enter, and leave the family's orbit. The story stays with letters, waiting, and domestic upheaval rather than combat, tracing World War II through one family's life at home.
