There is a more current movie that subtly borrows from these esoteric themes. That would be the movie titled “She”, or “Her”, starting Joaquin Phoenix. Joaquin plays a 40ish single man, who assembles his idea of the perfect woman to fall in love with. She is nothing more than a sophisticated algorithm, always vavailable at the press of a button. Eventually this man truly does fall in love with this “woman”. I only saw the previews, not the actual film. I’m guessing he ended up losing her.

Supernatural fantasies had a run in the ‘40s. Think ‘Here Comes Mr. Jordan’ and its sequel ‘Down to Earth’.

I first read the short story/novella by Robert Nathan when I was about 12. It was in an anthology my mother had. I read it several times. I didn’t see the movie until a couple of decades later. Thanks for the link.
