I'll Be Seeing You (1944)

I'll Be Seeing You (1944), directed by William Dieterle.

The soldier seems absent minded, dissociated and quietly upset. He is invisible to most of the crowd, but the woman in the train seat opposite spots him immediately. She has secrets of her own, on holiday furlough from prison for manslaughter.

She invites him to meet her family and they warmly take him in. He is able to tell her about his trauma and fears, but she cannot be honest with him. How are they ever going to work it out?

This is a small wartime romance that has some good features:

Where would movies be if people were honest with each other?

Photographed by Tony Gaudio. Miss Rogers is dressed by Edith Head.

This is available on Blu-ray from Kino, but my thumbnails are from the DVD.
