Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe role of Victoria Morland/Singleton was initially planned for Ann Richards, but after Jennifer Jones became available, Richards ended up playing Dilly, Singleton's friend.
- GoofsDilly Carson relates to Alan Quinton that she found Singleton sitting by the fireplace with a bloody knife and a letter from which Dilly quotes the signature line, "I think of you my dearest as the distance promise of beauty". But during the climactic flashback, we see the letter with that very line burning in the fireplace.
- Quotes
Allen Quinton: You are so calm, it is so contagious, you... you are so happy.
Victoria Morland: I will tell you the secret, just two words, "Be yourself". You are afraid of that, everybody is. But I have no choice, I can't be anything but myself.
- ConnectionsReferenced in Mommie Dearest (1981)
Featured review
Fate and Love
I am very fond of the stars and many members of the supporting cast. I adore Portrait of Jennie. I think Ayn Rand was a prophet and wise beyond the ability of most people to even comprehend. Putting all of that aside. Even putting aside all of the music, the clothes, the atmosphere and the dialog. This is still wonderful. This is a story of fate, of love and how the two sometimes come together in an undeniable vision that, once seen is never forgotten. This is a wonderful movie and I enjoy it more with each viewing. Now that Ms. Jones is gone. she can always be as she was here and that is, she was loved by not just one man but by almost everyone who saw her back then when she and the world were so very much younger. Fate, not always so kind but somehow this movie makes one feel that there are worse things than to be fated to an inescapable love.
