Leave your thoughts about Random Harvest.
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranGarson and Ronald Colman beautifully play the delicacy of two aching souls trying to recapture their lost romance. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyLeRoy's schmaltzy and literary romantic melodrama, about a WWI vet who suffers from amnesia, was a huge commercial hit due to Greer Garson and Ronald Colman's acting and the fact that it was released in the midst of WWII. |
| Movie MetropolisJohn J. Puccio...it is the kind of love-found, love-lost, love-found tale that appeals to most anyone's sense of romanticism, nostalgia, and fair play. |
| Filmcritic.comDavid Bezansonthe abundance of talent rescues the material |
| USA TodayMike ClarkDated and a little clunky but with a few moving performances from the leads. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumIt has a kind of deranged sincerity and integrity on its own terms. |
| Video-Reviewmaster.comSteve CrumDated, but still moving '40s classic with Garson and Colman. |
| The New York TimesBosley CrowtherRandom Harvest is a strangely empty film. Its characters are creatures of fortune, not partisans in determining their own fates. Miss Garson and Mr. Colman are charming; they act perfectly. But they never seem real. And a sense of psychiatric levels is not conveyed in either the script or direction. |
| User ReviewMarina GThe only film ever made that makes me yearn to be a redhead and/or Greer Garson..."Smithy!" |
| User ReviewEddie SA weepie but actually quite bloody good. A film that has a 'Will they, won't they?' running right through the film. Totally classic. |
