Trivia:

Franz Waxman composed the score for this film. The theme he used when Jane Wyman's character first enters her New York office was used by George Lucas for his first feature film, THX 1138 (1971). The music was heard in the futuristic shopping mall sequence as "elevator music." more

Goofs:

Factual errors: Although the movie is set in 1942, when WWII meat rationing was in full force, Art and Ruth have no trouble buying an entire pound of corned beef at a deli. more

I love this movie more each time I see it, 9 July 2000
10/10
Author: pan-10

It is a wonderful and magical film, somewhat similar to one of my all-time favorites, "Portrait of Jennie". I might change a line or two, or a scene or two, but overall this is really something special. Very sad, but imbued with the truest of hope and happiness. Like "Portrait of Jennie", it is a truly religious film.
