''My Foolish Heart'' (1949) is a melodrama starring Creator/DanaAndrews and Creator/SusanHayward.
It was based on the short story by Creator/JDSalinger (''Uncle Wiggle in Connecticut''), a part of his ''Nine Stories'' collection.
Eloise (Hayward) is an alcoholic housewife meeting with her old friend Mary Jane (Loise Wheeler). The meeting conjures up old memories. Specifically, Eloise’s old beau, Walt (Andrews) who died in the air force.
The story follows their relationship before the war and how Eloise turned into a bitter woman.
J.D. Salinger hated the changes made in this film so much that he never allowed his stories to be adapted to the screen again.

!!The film shows the following tropes:
*TheAlcoholic: Eloise has become one as a bored, sad housewife.
*BittersweetEnding: Although her marriage is over and Walt is dead, Eloise can care for her daughter.
*DadTheVeteran: Eloise’s father, Henry (Robert Keith), relates his own experiences of wedding quickly before heading off to war. It’s clear that he regrets the decision somewhat, but he understands the feeling which Eloise and Walt are under.
*FramingDevice: Eloise receives a visit from Mary Jane and while packing to run away from the house, she stumbles upon a dress which she wore when she first met Walt.
*MarriageOfConvenience: This is what Eloise fears of pushing Walt into. He’s such a wild card that she doesn’t want to force him into this even when she finds out that she’s pregnant.
*MeetCute: Walt absentmindedly throws away a cigarette – and it lands on Eloise.
*AndNowYouMustMarryMe: This is what Eloise wants to avoid and why she doesn’t ask Walt to marry her when she finds out she’s pregnant.
*ParentsAsPeople: Eloise and her father have a clear deep connection, and he’s completely honest to her about everything. He relates how he also rushed into marriage when he entered the army and regrets it to a certain extent.
*SomeoneToRememberHimBy: Eloise has Ramona which she treats rather roughly. By the end of the film, however, it’s clear that she loves her daughter and that she’s all that she has left of Walt.
*TheReveal: After Walt’s death, she receives his letter where he admits that he wants to marry her as soon as he sees her again. Eloise’s fears were all for naught.
*RunningJoke: When trying to sweettalk Eloise, Walt says she has an “aristocratic” ear. He then proceeds to call different parts of her aristocratic as the movie goes one.
