Description:
Treatment script by Elizabeth Meehan for an unproduced film. Meehan was a British screenwriter who worked in Hollywood and the UK in the 1920s, 30s, and 40s. Among the 29 credits she amassed, she is best known for "The Great Gatsby" (1926), "Laugh, Clown, Laugh" (1928), and "Oliver Twist" (1933).
A romantic melodrama about women on the home front during World War II, told through the lives of a group of female cab drivers and their correspondence with one particularly lonely soldier using numerous aliases to write them. With only one significant male role (the soldier) who only appears at the beginning and end of the story, the main action of the film features women exclusively, making it something of an unusual story for it's time.
