Production[edit]Arthur Wing Pinero's 1. First World War. RKO Producer Harriet Parsons acquired the rights for her studio for an updated World War II version set in New England. When RKO management took the film away from her and gave it to producer- writer Dudley Nichols, Hollywood columnist Hedda Hopper wrote a strongly- worded newspaper editorial criticizing RKO for gender bias.

The outcry from the column led RKO to change its plan and give the property back to Harriet Parsons.[1]Parsons wrote an outline of the updated story about a disfigured (rather than disabled) World War II veteran. She engaged De. Witt Bodeen for the screenplay, and the two became lifelong friends. Parsons also selected John Cromwell as director. David O. Selznick lent RKO Dorothy Mc. Guire for the film, and MGM lent Robert Young, who reteamed with Mc.

Guire after her debut in Claudia. Parsons also contributed to the screenplay along with Herman J.

Mankiewicz, who was hired by Cromwell to touch up Bodeen's screenplay.[2] Mankiewicz was best known for his contributions to Orson Welles' Citizen Kane . Composer Roy Webb wrote a piano concerto for the film that a blinded World War I veteran (Herbert Marshall) uses as a tone poem to describe the story of the two protagonists to a gathering of people. Webb was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Music Score in 1. Hollywood Bowl later that year.

Marshall, who had lost a leg in World War I, played his blind role with the help of special contact lenses. Dorothy Mc. Guire insisted her character show her plainness with no makeup, ill- fitting clothes and a drab hairstyle. When Mc. Guire was filmed looking appealing to Robert Young, her character had similar costumes that were well tailored.[2]Reception[edit]The film was released in April 1.

Not all the critics were enthusiastic. Writing for The New York Times, critic Bosley Crowther said[T]he deep and studied poignance of this elaborately heart- torturing film appears not only unreasonable but very plainly contrived.

It is hard to believe that a depressed veteran's entire recuperation would be allowed to devolve upon a fustrated [sic] girl, an intuitive blind man and a honeymoon cottage possessing charm. Watch Upstream Color Online Metacritic there. And it is fair to insist that no young lady with a face and figure such as that of Dorothy Mc. Guire would permit herself to look so dingy and woebegone as she does in this film.[3]Other critics chose to overlook the sentimentality of the plot and focus on the overall message. Jeremy Arnold wrote that.

The Enchanted Cottage is a movie with its heart in the right place. Anyone who has ever been in love can relate to the sensation that one's partner becomes more beautiful as one's love deepens. The Enchanted Cottage illustrates this phenomenon to full and lovely effect, with its allegorical yet delicate story of the power of love to physically transform a couple.[2]Box Office[edit]The film made a profit of $8.

The film is the basis of chapter 5 in which Molina tells a film to himself, one in which he imagines the advantages of lovers' bodies being adapted to the "true love" of their souls, a reality that would make possible supposedly impossible romantic possibilities for himself and his married love interest, Gabriel.
