Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

In many ways, Random Harvest epitomizes the quintessential old Hollywood film. The story is engaging and never loses your attention. The music in the background appropriately captures the mood and never intrudes. Ronald Colman and Greer Garson give fine performances. Garson, a true star at the time, radiates the screen as usual, and in a way few other actresses have done before or since. Of course, while the story doesn't disappoint, it does have its flaws. Colman seems quite a bit too old to have been a soldier in World War I. The idea that an amnesiac would be institutionalized as if he had suffered brain damage also seems a bit far-fetched. Moreover, why would he not have dog tags to identify him? And if he didn't, were there no other soldiers who would have known him at the time of his injury? Other questions are begged. Why would his family not have investigated his fate? Why would Colman's character not attempt to find out about his past? Why does his speech impediment suddenly disappear? Why would a woman marry an amnesiac before trying to learn if he was already married and had a family?After the car accident, he discovers he has lost three years of his life. Why wouldn't he seek to retrace his steps and find out where he was and what he had done? Instead he heads home, where his family greets his return from the dead as if it were just another day -- easily the weakest part of the storyline.Alas, perhaps I'm being too logical! Random Harvest is still enjoyable if you can overlook these obvious holes. The movie wouldn't work otherwise, and ultimately it does what movie watchers love best: deliver us a happy ending.

I've seen this movie about 10 times and I plan on watching it at least 10 more times! I love everything about it with the exception of one nearly unbelievable relationship. In my opinion Susan Peters and Ronald Colman being lovers is just a wee bit (actually a lot more than just a wee bit) of a stretch to begin with; good grief he was old enough to be her father, and then there is the scene with her tearfully abandoning him in the church after gazing into his eyes for a few seconds? While that scene was very well done and quite touching, IMHO it is just too unbelievable. Too bad she died about 10 years later in a tragic accident as she was quite convincing in this movie as a perky teen and a beautiful and confident young lady. In the book she dies, and I suppose throwing that into this movie instead of her simply leaving him at the altar would have required extending the movie another 20 minutes or so perhaps making the movie too long.

Ronald Colman stars as a shell-shocked WW1 soldier who suffers from complete amnesia. He is befriended by a kindly music hall singer (Greer Garson) and they fall in love. Inevitably, he regains his former memory and their lives change forever.Ronald Colman's dramatic voice and charismatic charm are irresistible in this movie and Greer Garson is incredibly beautiful and sympathetic; it's just a pleasure to watch them on the screen. The story is sweet and romantic and rich with characters. The movie received seven Oscar nominations in 1943. I did think the second half moved a bit slowly, but it comes to a satisfying conclusion. Recommended.

It's a masterpiece. Keeps viewers engrossed as the story unfolds. Emotionally satisfying yet there are moments when we often worry about the central character Paula (played by Greer Garson). Undoutably, one of her best performances and she brings life to the character of Paula and later of Margaret Hansen. The story is fast and doesn't let the viewer loose interest. Sets, characters, sound effect, and casts are well chosen. The story is not that new, but the way it is directed and told is quite impactful. The tender yet a strong character of Greer Garson brings the story to life, quite rare in modern movies. A movie that will remain in memories forever!
