Portrait of Jennie

The screen's most romantic team!

Set in Depression-era New York, the story follows painter Eben Adams, who despairs at his lack of success. One cold winter evening in Central Park, he encounters the enigmatic, old-fashioned Jennie Appleton, who captures his fancy by asking him to wait for her to grow up. After he sells a sketch of Jennie to kindly art dealer Miss Spinny, Eben continues to meet the oddly mutable Jennie in fleeting moments and begins to realize they share a special destiny.
