Dear Ruth 1947 DVD - Joan Caulfield / William Holden

Life in the Wilkins family is anything but ordinary: there's the reserved beauty Ruth, her crusty judge father, and her politically active, petition-loving teen sister Miriam. Unexpectedly, Ruth's soldier pen pal, Bill Seacroft, arrives for a visit—someone Ruth herself has never met. As it turns out, Miriam had been writing to Bill using Ruth's name and picture to boost wartime morale. Now, with Bill on a two-day leave, Ruth reluctantly agrees to play along, despite being recently engaged to her proper suitor, Albert. Can Miriam's well-intentioned deception last the weekend, or will it all come crashing down?
