You could say that the storyline in the movie doesn't stand close scrutiny,but it doesn't matter when it is told and acted so expertly. Jennifer Jones delivers her most haunting portrayal as Jennie and never has her ethereal beauty been caught so perfectly on the screen. Joseph Cotten,Ethel Barrymore and Lillian Gish are all memorable. David Wayne in his first movie was magnificent. He played the Irishman very convincingly. You're not likely to see a more beautifully shot black & white movie. The photography is magnificent and suits this ghost-story perfectly.I liked the green-tinted scenes of the storm and the sepia-tone for the aftermath. An original idea.This is a beautiful love story if you dispense of logical thinking. It's well worth your time watching "Portrait of Jennie"
