Dear Ruth

On leave, Army bombardier Bill Seacroft (William Holden) showed up at the home of Ruth Wilkins (Joan Caulfield), explaining to her bewildered folks that their daughter was his pen pal, he was smitten, and he intended to propose. All well and good, except the letters had actually been written by Ruth's teen sister Miriam (Mona Freeman)-and Ruth just got engaged to another guy (Billy de Wolfe)! Long-requested romantic charmer co-stars Edward Arnold, Virginia Welles, Mary Philips, Kevin O'Morrison. 95 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English; Subtitles: English; audio commentary.
