Enjoyed this 1950 film that deals with a family named Maccaulay that is very happy together growing up and Gail Macaulay, (Ann Blyth) is about to graduate from high school. Gail has a boyfriend, Chuck, (Farley Granger) and this couple are very much in love with each other and everything was going just fine in Gail life. However, Gail's sister wants to get working papers so she can have a job at the age of sixteen years and goes through papers in her mother's desk and finds adoption papers concerning her sister Gail. Once this adoption becomes known to Gail and she finds out this family she has been living with becomes total strangers to Gail mentally and physically. This story takes many twists and turns and if you look close, you will see Natalie Wood appearing as Penny Maccaulay the youngest sister to Gail. The moral to this story is tell a person they are adopted when the child is old enough to understand and explain why and how much you love them just like their own daughter or son.
