Peter Ibbetson
Love... born in the simple hearts of children... loving gloriously... triumphant through the years!
Directed by Henry Hathaway
Produced by Paramount Pictures
A romantic fantasy about childhood sweethearts separated by circumstance who reconnect as adults, their bond transcending time and social barriers through shared dreams and memory.
When his mother dies, young Peter Ibbetson leaves Paris and his best friend, Mary, behind to live with a severe uncle in England. Years later, Peter is an architect with little time for women, until he begins a project with the Duke and Duchess of Towers. When Peter and the duchess become great friends, she reveals that she is Mary — but the duke soon suspects his wife of infidelity and challenges Peter to a duel, threatening the pair's second chance.
