One of the best films I have ever seen...

Having recently read a lot of positive things about it I bit the bullet & bought a copy, which arrived a few days ago. I watched it last night & was swept away by the gentleness & sentimentality of the whole thing. What great performances from a solid cast! Dorothy McGuire has never really been a favourite of mine (probably not glamorous enough - I can be pretty shallow that way), but after seeing her in "The Enchanted Cottage" I must look up more of her work. I always enjoy watching Robert Young (a very underated actor in my opinion) & his performance, aided by the wonderful make-up job done on him, is what I have come to expect from him. And then of course there's Herbert Marshall, who I have never seen give a bad performance. It's also interesting to see Spring Byington in an unsympathetic role.

I beautiful film that tugs mercilessly at the heartstrings. I love it!!!

I saw it last night for the first time, a really cool pic. I think falling in love made them look more attractive to each other. I really felt bad for Laura when the soldiers shunned her at the dance. This is the first film I have seen of Robert Young outside of TV shows.

One of the best films ever released. I will always remember it. Love it.

I completely agree. It's such incredible movie. One of the best classics and favorites.

Agreed. An exquisitely delicate story that could so easily have gone wrong, but does everything just right. I wish there were more films like it today.
