Add a CommentAuthentic, unsentimental -- combines deep sadness with moments of humor, romance, and beauty. Excellent acting, and the extras (an informative commentary & an interview) bring insights into the movie and its making. A must see!
Good acting and a social issue that resonates into our current time period....Look for the scene where the mother short-circuits her favorite son's plan with a plan of her own.....And the anniversary scenes of the older couple at the hotel where they'd honeymooned....Good stuff!
Very sweet movie. It's a shame more people haven't heard of it. The second half is as poignant a piece of cinema as I've seen.
A poignant film. Apparently Orson Welles said that the film was so sad, "it would make a stone cry." Well, it is a sad but beautiful tale.
This is an unknown masterpiece. Leo McLary said when he got the Oscar for The Awful Truth that they were giving it to him for the wrong movie. Hard-nosed and relatively unsentimental, considering the subject matter.
