So, I watched this movie as a child (10 maybe?) and a it made an impression. I don't remember all the details but it was about this woman, which had beautiful long red or strawberry blond hair. In my recollections, she has a romance with an enemy soldier and the townspeople gran her and shorn off her hair.
I don't remember much, but that scene made such an impression on me. Does anyone here know which movie is this? It was an old movie. |
Weirdly that is ringing a bell with me too but I'm sorry I don't have a title for you... |
What year would it have been.. it is easier to narrow down. The portrayal pf sympathizers with shorn hair has been in quite a few movies. |
old movie as in black and white (probably no, though they could have just talked about her hair).
Any even remote feelings if it was a made for TV movie or a Movie being shown on TV? |
Was it maybe based on a Danielle Steele novel?
|
I watch this old series maybe five years ago but it is I think late 90's? This sounds familiar...
It was really nice series.. quality is so so but it was kind of easy rolling series.. |
PS this trailer entirely misses the parts when she ends up in France during the WW2 as a castle owner with her husband who gives it to ther for her B day present.. and then during the war he goes to fight and she is left behind and she fells in love with a German officer stationing in the castle. .. and all that...
Her husband is an old English aristocracy. |

Ryan's Daughter (1970). Starring Sarah Miles, Robert Mitchum and Christopher Jones as the soldier. Your welcome! When Rosy was shamed by the townspeople, ugh, it was absolutely gut-wrenching. |
That is it!!!! THANK YOU! (Op Here btw) How did you find out? |
You're very welcome! I saw it as a teenager. And I saw it again on TCM a few years ago thru adult eyes. It is a very haunting film. Stunning cinematography. Robert Mitchum's performance always stayed with me--understated, subdued and incredibly loyal to Rosy as opposed to his sometimes menacing, terrifying roles in movies like Cape Fear and The Night of the Hunter. |
Oh man. Danielle Steel. There was a time when I read A LOT of Danielle Steel. |
Two movies came to mind when I rad your post, The Ring by Danielle Steel and Italian movie Malena. Seems like you found the right movies already. |
