I just finished watching "Smilin' Through" on TCM. Others have recounted the plot, so let's just say that the acting is outstanding by Norma Shearer, Leslie Howard, and Fredric March. There really aren't any bad guys in this one, just likable characters who respond to tragedy and love in ways that really tug at your heart strings. This movie is a genuine tear jerker, and one that you will be glad you watched. It's especially interesting to see Norma and Leslie each playing two different characters.. the credits only list one character name for each of them, though. The glimpse of the next world that the viewer is given is an uplifting element to the story. Highly recommended for all viewers, no matter what type of movie you usually watch.
