Der Liebesbrief (1998)
In einem alten Schreibtisch aus Bürgerkriegszeiten findet Scotty Corrigan, ein Fan der alten Zeit, ein Geheimfach mit Korrespondenz und einen Liebesbrief einer gewissen Elizabeth Whitcomb. Seine Mutter, die ein wenig an Zeitreisen glaubt, gibt ihm den Tip, den Brief zu beantworten: auf altem Papier, mit einer entsprechenden Marke - um ihn dann von dem ältesten Postamt der Gegend loszuschicken. Wie durch ein Wunder findet Elizabeth zu Zeiten des Bürgerkriegs in dem Fach Scotts Antwortbrief. Bald entspinnt sich ein reger Briefwechsel, der beider Leben romantisch beeinflusst. Während Elizabeths Vater Angst hat, sie könnte zu alt zum Heiraten werden, bedroht die Briefaffäre Scotts Verlobung. Als er durch einen Unfall eine Weile im Koma liegt und nicht antworten kann, trifft Elizabeth einen Offizier namens Danby, der Scott verblüffend ähnlich sieht - was sie allerdings nicht weiß. Als Scott wieder erwacht, geraten die Dinge in Bewegung...
