Thought the movie was great, but never saw the end. Help!
20 January 2005 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

I was watching Big City and really enjoying it. I need somebody's help because I got to the part where Edward Arnold and Midge decide that Midge should be sent away. Then I got a phone call, and never saw the end. I assume that the family got back together again, but I can't figure out how. I thought that if they all lived together, that would solve the problem. Doubt that happened! But I especially liked the way the 3 religions were able to unite because of their love for Midge. Margaret O'Brien was terrific and her take-off on Betty Garrett's song was too. Would somebody please tell me what happened from that point on! Thanks much.
