| Goatdog's MoviesMichael W. Phillips, Jr.One of Hollywood's, and cinema's, grandest and most emotionally satisfying tales of unrequited love and self-sacrifice. |
| Tim Dirks' The Greatest FilmsTim DirksLetter From an Unknown Woman (1948) is the classic romantic film - a lush tearjerker par excellence - of the bittersweet theme of unrequited, lost love |
| Independent (UK)Anthony QuinnA weepie like they don't make them like anymore. |
