Since You Went Away is a 1944 drama film directed by John Cromwell, starring Claudette Colbert, Jennifer Jones, Joseph Cotten, and Shirley Temple.The Hiltons are a well-to-do American family living somewhere in Flyover Country. Patriarch Tim Hilton has just left for Army service in World War II when the movie begins, leaving his wife Anne (Colbert) and their teenaged daughters Jane (Jones) and Brig (Temple) to cope with life on the home front while he's away.Forced to save money after losing Tim's civilian salary, the Hiltons take in a boarder, Col. Smollett (Monty Woolley), whose grandson Bill (Robert Walker) soon falls for Jane. Anne, left adrift by her husband's absence, dedicates herself to the war effort. Also in the picture is Navy lieutenant Tony Willett (Cotten), an old family friend who obviously carries a torch for Anne.Produced for United Artists by David O. Selznick (who also wrote the screenplay), the film was nominated for a large passel of Academy Awards, and won some of the minor ones. | |

| Since You Went Away / int_41f55ee1 | comment |
On Second Thought: Brig comes up with the idea of renting out a room, which both Anne and Jane thinks is ridiculous. Then Brig talks about some officer needing a room, and Jane, getting a dreamy look in her eye, tells her mother it would be patriotic to let an officer rent a room from them, though Brig catches on to her real motivation. | |

Train-Station Goodbye: The Trope Maker, as Jane sees Bill off when he's going away to war. There are declarations of love, there's Jane running after the moving train, there's Bill handing her a keepsake (his watch) from the moving window. | |

Foreshadowing: After Anne hears about Mr. Mahoney's son being killed in a plane crash (see Fatal Family Photo above) while she's at a dance for the soldiers, Tony asks her to dance. Anne looks horrified at the thought, to which Tony responds, "Look, Anne, you'll be hearing plenty of things like this. Might as well get used to them." As indicated above in Death Notification, Anne did hear about this again with Bill being killed in action and Tim going missing. | |

Description Cut: Within the same sequence. Tony takes Anne to what he hopes will be a steak dinner, only to be told the restaurant has no steaks, because "There's a war on, you know." Grumpily, Tony tells the waiter to bring him anything "as long as it isn't hash." Sure enough, at the end of the scene, the waiter brings the "specialty of the house" - hash. | |
