StoryLine:

In 1934, impoverished painter Eben Adams (Joseph Cotten) meets a fey little girl named Jennie Appleton (Jennifer Jones) in Central Park, Manhattan. She is wearing old-fashioned clothing. He makes a sketch of her from memory which involves him with art dealer Miss Spinney (Ethel Barrymore), who sees potential in him. This inspires him to paint a portrait of Jennie.Portrait of Jennie 1948 full Movie Download.

Eben encounters Jennie at intermittent intervals. Strangely, she appears to be growing up much more rapidly than is possible. He soon falls in love with her but is puzzled by the fact that she seems to be experiencing events that he discovers took place many years previously as if they had just happened. Eventually he learns the truth about Jennie and though inevitable tragedy ensues, she continues to be an inspiration to Eben’s life and art, and his career makes a remarkable upturn, commencing with his portrait of Jennie.

Portrait of Jennie opens with a strange and remarkable sequence. A voice introduces the story and its themes, alternating between humanity’s grand questions about time, space, and mortality, and then quotes from the literary works of Euripides and Keats. “Science tells us that nothing ever dies but only changes,” the voice says, “that time itself does not pass, but curves around us, and that the past and the future are together at our side forever.” Images of billowing clouds shot through curved lenses fade into one another as the voice continues: “Out of the shadows of knowledge, and out of a painting that hung on a museum wall comes our story, the truth of which lies not on our screen, but in your heart.” By the time the lofty prologue is over, there is no telling what might follow. What is so remarkable about this opening, written by Ben Hecht at the behest of producer David O. Selznick, is that, in all its learned pretensions, it suitably prepares the viewer for the film that follows.
