A three-hour weepy extraordinaire, this 1944 offering from producer David O. Selznick (who also wrote the screenplay) was a tribute to all the families who stayed behind while their men went off to fight in World War II. Claudette Colbert is the mother of daughters Jennifer Jones and Shirley Temple; first seen coming home after dropping her war-bound husband at the train, she becomes the model of courage and strength on the homefront. The plot has a Saturday Evening Post feel today, as it follows the family's day-to-day life and struggles, whether with a crotchety boarder (a delightfully starchy Monty Woolley) or oldest daughter Jones's doomed romance with departing serviceman Robert Walker. They don't make them like this anymore and it's too bad. Nominated for a fistful of Oscars, it took only one, for its shadow-drenched black-and-white cinematography. --Marshall Fine

Okay, I love old B&W movies but this can't hold a candle to "Mrs. Miniver" (now there was a woman who knew how to cope) and "The Best Years of Our Lives."

Also, I know that times were different when this was made but the portrayal ... Read More

A heart warming view of the "... love ones back home." The right mix of drama, comedy, and the usually hanky moments. This movie has the usual war story line of separated families during hard times. Very good movie.

Two things still stand out in this elongated, patriotic 1944 soap opera produced in immaculate style by David O. Selznick (Gone with the Wind, Rebecca) - the natural, self-effacing warmth of Claudette Colbert's portrayal of a WWII wife and mother holding down her home as her husband goes off to war, and the striking black-and-white cinematography by Lee Garmes and Stanley Cortez, who use a lot of deep focus and long shadows to accentuate the more dramatic moments. Look at the dance sequence in the airplane ... Read More
