Dear John (1964)	comment	Dear John (Käre John) is a 1964 film from Sweden directed by Lars-Magnus Lindgren.It's a story of romance between two lonely people. John Berndtsson is captain of a small freighter working the Baltic. Some time ago he came home early from a business trip and found his wife in bed with his business partner; he got divorced and has been single ever since. Anita is a waitress in a cafe. When she was 18 she had a brief relationship with a man who knocked her up and abandoned her. Now she's a single mom raising a four-year old daughter, Helena.John's ship pulls into Anita's little coastal village for a two-day layover. John stops in to eat at Anita's cafe, and asks the lovely waitress out for dinner. Will two lonely hearts find love?Despite the title, does not feature the trope "Dear John" Letter. No connection with the other works by this name, like the British TV series Dear John, the American remake of that series, or the 2010 Channing Tatum movie.

Dear John (1964) / int_1420a9b8	comment	Scenery Censor: The scene where John goes back for his shorts after skinny dipping in the bay is framed so that the dock covers his privates.

Dear John (1964) / int_18d15922	comment	Title Drop: Anita addresses John as "Dear John" three times. The first is after he leaves the apartment in a snit, and she chases him down and begs him not to leave her alone. The second is when John opens the package left on the boat, and finds the record that they listened to together, with her note enclosed. The third time is at the end, when John calls her and asks her to marry him and she accepts.

Dear John (1964) / int_7374ab13	comment	Once More, with Clarity: Some of the flashbacks/memories are repeated with greater meaning later in the film after the audience has learned more. Anita's odd comment "I'm not Anita" is clarified later, when we find out her name is actually Anna and she told John a different name. When it's time for John's boat to leave, he asks when the cafe opens so he can some say goodbye, and instead of telling him she asks him to kiss her. That's because she knows she is about to go on a vacation to her mom's house with Helena.

The film continually flits back and forth between the various flashbacks—John's Home-Early Surprise, John's drunken first meeting with Anita, John and Anita's romantic day at the beach and the zoo.
