This might be from the 30s or 40s.
A man keeps meeting a girl who is growing up quickly every time he sees her, I think.
He falls in love with her but only sees her when she returns to him.
In the end, I believe he finds that she has drowned or something.
Sound familiar to anyone?
Thanks.

Portrait of Jenny (1948)In 1934, impoverished painter Eben Adams (Joseph Cotten) meets a fey little girl named Jennie Appleton (Jennifer Jones) in Central Park, Manhattan. She is wearing old-fashioned clothing. He makes a sketch of her from memory which involves him with art dealer Miss Spinney (Ethel Barrymore), who sees potential in him. This inspires him to paint a portrait of Jennie. Eben encounters Jennie at intermittent intervals. Strangely, she appears to be growing up much more rapidly than is possible. He soon falls in love with her but is puzzled by the fact that she seems to be experiencing events that he discovers took place many years previously as if they had just happened. Eventually he learns the truth about Jennie and though inevitable tragedy ensues, she continues to be an inspiration to Eben's life and art, and his career makes a remarkable upturn, commencing with his portrait of Jennie. —- Wikipedia (Remembered this myself in a flash.)
