Tremendous emotional impact, stellar performance by Wyman
7 September 1999 | by (Detroit, Michigan) – See all my reviews

I was a very impressionable young girl when I saw this movie...not on tv, but at the local theater. I remember running out of tissues, I cried so much. An elderly couple seated next to me passed me more tissues and reassured me that it was "only a movie". I have never forgotten this film, and I have yet to see it on tv. Jane Wyman should have had the Oscar that year.
