The Love Letter

Release Date: May 21, 1999

In the sleepy New England town of Loblolly by the Sea, a letter has arrived 
that is going to wake things up. It is a love letter—ardent, sensual…and unsigned. Everybody who reads it wonders who it’s for and who it’s from. As the letter falls into different hands, some residents of the small town start to eye one another with renewed interest.

Determined to find the letter’s author, Helen MacFarquhar (Kate Capshaw) begins a quest that will open her life to a new chapter involving two decidedly different men: George (Tom Selleck), an old friend from her past, and Johnny (Tom Everett Scott), a young man very much in her present. Will one of them decide her future?

Unexpectedly, one mysterious love note has the power to unlock some startling secrets, changing the lives of everyone it touches.

DreamWorks Pictures presents The Love Letter, starring Kate Capshaw (Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom), Blythe Danner, Ellen DeGeneres, Geraldine McEwan, Julianne Nicholson (DreamWorks Television’s The Others), Tom Everett Scott, Tom Selleck and Gloria Stuart.

The Love Letter marks the American debut of acclaimed Hong Kong filmmaker Peter Ho-sun Chan. Sarah Pillsbury and Midge Sanford (How to Make an American Quilt) and Kate Capshaw produced the film from a screenplay by Maria Maggenti, based upon the novel by Cathleen Schine.
