Product Description:
She knew his face. His touch. His voice. She knew everything about him.. But the truth. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 09/17/2002 Starring: Richard Gere Bill Pullman Run time: 113 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Jon Amiel

Amazon.com:
Based on the French film, The Return of Martin Guerre (which itself was based on a famous court case), this 1993 film by director Jon Amiel recasts the same essential story in post-Civil War Tennessee, in a dirt-poor town suffering the effects of the South's loss. Jodie Foster plays Laurel Sommersby, a widow whose husband died in the Civil War--or so everyone thinks. Then one day, Jack Sommersby (Richard Gere) strolls back into town and back into Laurel's bed--but he's a changed man. Gone is the selfish, nasty individual no one much liked. In his place is a friendly, sensitive, and resourceful new Jack who not only rekindles the long-dead fire of his marriage, but revives the entire town. Except for one small catch: He may not actually be Jack Sommersby at all. Beautifully shot by Amiel (with a great assist from cameraman Philippe Rousselot) from a script by Nicholas Meyer and Sarah Kernochan, the film features a sturdy, even flinty performance by Foster and a beguiling one by Gere. Though the ending will squeeze the tear ducts, the film earns those tears. --Marshall Fine

	Customer Reviews: Average Rating: Rating : - Gere & Foster in a film for romantics only Actor/producer Richard Gere seems to have a habit of translating successful French films into vehicles for himself. Some are successful, some are not (Intersection)--this film is probably one of his best. Based on the film, "The Return of Martin Guerre", which was also made into a Broadway musical, the story is about an Civil war vet who returns home after many years and resurrects his romance with his wife (Foster) who suspects he may not be who he really is, since before the war their relationship was at a stalemate. Also she was being courted by a long time suitor (Bill Pullman) who is warily suspicious of him being who he is. In the interim though he attempts to re-build the broken town by persuading the townspeople to plant tobacco rather than cotton. Of course, there is a plot reversal in the story which challenges his identity and integrity to the limit. I won't go too much into detail on this point but Gere & Foster deliver graceful performances as the ill-fated couple and Bill Pullman etches more than a portrayal of a villain but a man who drawn to extremes in his quest for the love of Laurel (Foster). This film was approriately released during Valentine's Day and if you're a romantic at heart--you will be entralled by this film. If you're cynic at heart, then stay away. This film is a worthy translation of the celebrated French film. + See Full Customer Review
