Format:DVD
If you love old Movies (or even if you don't) this is an absolute gem. It's not the usual war time film, but centres on how the family left at home cope with the absence of their husband/father. Most films deal with war from the man's perspective but this is played from the female angle and is sympathetic to the role women played. Very modern for it's day. I loved every minute of it and will be watching it again soon.

Format:DVD
In 1944 it would be quite appropriate to make a movie about war.But this is about the people left at home.The wives,the children and the mothers.With stars of the calibre of Claudette Colbert,Joseph Cotton,Monty Woolley etc it is a war story simply told and well directed.Every actor gives a polished performance and it is little wonder that it attracted such high praise in the Academy Awards of that year.This is a movie you can watch often and not tire of.

I really only brought this film to hear Alla Nazimova's voice as I have only seen her in silent films. Once I put it on I found it to be fantastic, there is never a dull moment in this film and is quite heart warming. Madame Nazimova dosen't come on to the end of the film and she is magical with sparkly eyes this was her last film role and she died the year after this film was made. Brilliant film!!

Wonderful
I'm sure Selznic was attempting to outdo or match Gone With The Wind when he made this film; which was always a near impossible task. Read more
