Geraldine Page is a postmistress who's going to her convention in New York. Glenn Ford is an engaged man, who's getting married in a month to Angela Lansbury. They both happen to be staying at the same hotel and through certain circumstances, they meet, but only after we see Glenn visiting a friend, who's got the hots for him but he doesn't give her a tumble and after seeing Geraldine talking to Charles Drake, a married man, of whom she's been seeing. But of course she's miserable not having the whole package. This is a very sweet film, that was originally called The Out-of-Towners, but when the Oscar-nominated song was written, they came up with the idea to change the movie title to fit the song. Great idea! The title fits this very funny yet vulnerable film. It may be one of those films that are far from perfect, but has much heart and sentiment. Therefore, it makes up for any imperfections in the eyes of those who love it. If you've never seen Glenn meet Geraldine, then you are missing one match made in heaven, as they seem very well suited for each other. There's really nothing else to know about the film. "Dear Heart" is a movie that shows average people in search of love and finding it.
