Portrait of Jennie Series: Saint and Sinner: The Tempestuous Career of Jennifer Jones [May 16 – 24] Director: William Dieterle, Country: USA, Release: 1948, Runtime: 86 Based on the novella by Robert Nathan, Portrait of Jennie is a romantic fantasy for the ages that has gathered a hefty cult with time. The ethereal film (aided by Dmitri Tiomkin’s score, after Debussy) follows penniless, struggling artist Eben Adams (Joseph Cotten) and the strange girl (Jones) he meets in Central Park. She seems to age each time he sees her. Is she real? Isn’t the real Jennie Appleton long dead? Why has she entered his life? These questions remain as elusive as the girl herself, whose portrait Eben is compelled to paint. Eben and Jennie’s story is a good example of David O. Selznick’s determination to showcase the unusual talents of his latest star. Jones enriches the slender tale with her otherworldly presence as well as a contradictory matter-of-factness, as if these events had to be real. Lucinda Ballard’s costumes for Jones create a timeless air. Cotten, one of Jones’s favorite co-stars, is splendid, along with Ethel Barrymore and Lillian Gish as a sympathetic art dealer and a helpful mother superior who try to solve his problems.
