What happens

Love Letters is a 1999 American made-for-television drama film directed by Stanley Donen and based on the 1988 play by A. R. Gurney. Gurney adapted his own original play, dramatizing scenes and portraying characters that were merely described in the play. Donen had envisioned it to be a feature film, but a limited budget restricted him to make a TV movie and he shot the film in only 17 days. It was his last film before his death in 2019. Love Letters originally premiered on ABC on April 12, 1999. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
