Effective melodrama with a great performance by Susan Hayward
“My Foolish Heart” is a glorious soap opera made in 1949, when the Hollywood studio system was breaking down and television was becoming a real threat to the film industry. As the film opens, Eloise (Susan Hayward) is about to end her unhappy wartime marriage to Lew Wengler (Kent Smith). In flashback, we see her romance and brief affair with New York City playboy Walt Dreiser (Dana Andrews). Eloise becomes pregnant, Walt is killed in the war, and Eloise hastily marries Lew, her best friend’s fiance. She doesn’t love Lew but wants her unborn child not to have the stigma of illegitimacy.<br /><br />The role of strong-willed Eloise earned Hayward the first of her five Oscar nominations. Though it’s a bit of a strain to accept her as a college student in the flashback sequences, she gives the role tremendous sympathy and clearly dominates the picture. Her Eloise not a stereotype but a real woman toughing it out in a judgmental, male-dominated world.<br /><br />This film is what was once described as a woman’s picture, the kind that propelled Bette Davis and Joan Crawford to stardom in the 1930s. The script by “Casablanca” writers Julius and Philip Epstein, based on the J.D. Salinger story “Uncle Wiggly in Connecticut,” is lively with sharp dialogue. Acting overall is first rate, with effective supporting performances by Jessie Royce Landis, Robert Keith, and young Gigi Perreau. Director Mark Robson captures the energy and emotions of young lovers during World War II, an era of uncertain futures.<br /><br />The title song, by Victor Young, was instrumental in publicizing the film.  Recorded by both Gordon Jenkins and Billy Ekstine, it received considerable radio air play, with Ekstine’s version reaching Number 6 on the pop charts.<br /><br />There are no bonus features on the unrated, full-screen DVD.

Here is a brief synopsis of the title : A suspenseful, romantic drama of a woman's past and how it affects her daughter, her husband, her best friend and their futures is depicted with a deep understanding in this picture of a woman who has deceived herself and her husband. Susan Hayward makes the film a tour de force in the role of an impetuous girl who becomes pregnant, then marries her best friend's fiance in order to hide the truth of a previous illicit romance with another man. Dana Andrews and Hayward are the young couple precipitated into the love affair by the exigencies of war time. Kent Smith is seen as the husband who has been deceived but ultimately is freed to renew his life with the woman he loves. Gigi Perreau portrays the love child. This appealing love story of foolish hearts and of a spiteful, hasty marriage is a fascinatingly entertaining picture of truth and hope..
