For You Alone

For You Alone is a 1945 British World War II romance melodrama, one of only two films directed by cinematographer Geoffrey Faithfull, starring Lesley Brook, Dinah Sheridan and Jimmy Hanley. The film was made by a smaller studio, Butchers Films more known for turning out quickly and cheaply shot Bmovies and had a lack of at the time star names, but appears to have been a relatively sophisticated and wellfinanced production. On its release, three weeks after VE Day, the film became a huge popular success, seeming to catch the mood of a nation just beginning to emerge from war.

John Bradshaw Robert Griffith, a young naval officer, attends a lunchtime concert at Westminster Central Hall where he meets Reverend Peter Britton G.H. Mulcaster and his daughter Katherine Brook. After the concert the three share a taxi, and after seeing her father off on the train to a conference Katherine agrees to have tea with John. They enjoy each others company and later go to see a film, followed by dinner and a stroll along the Thames Embankment. John impulsively tells Katherine that he has fallen in love with her, but she reminds him that they hardly know one another, and since her brothers death in the Far East she has to devote herself to her father.The couple finally part, agreeing to meet again the following day. However Katherine receives a telegram at her hotel, stating that her brother Dennis Hanley has turned up alive and will be arriving home the next day. She returns home early the next morning, leaving a note of explanation for John. Unfortunately John forgets the name of Katherines hotel, so does not receive the note and is distraught when she fails to turn up for their rendezvous. Meanwhile back at home, Katherine finds that Dennis is accompanied by Max Borrow Manning Whiley, an old admirer who still wants to marry her. He has sustained serious eye injuries while saving Dennis life, and Katherine as a result feels she must accept him. Dennis himself immediately rekindles his courtship with local schoolteacher Stella White Sheridan. ........
