Fun Stuff

Trivia:
The hauntingly beautiful background music in the movie was mostly Norwegian folk songs - Bla Tonar Fra Lom & Jenta I Saueflokken and although, the "Plain People" in the movie appear to be something like Quakers, Amish or Mennonites - there were no Norwegian settlements of this kind in the US. Most of these groups came from Germany & Switzerland. Most Norwegians coming to the US during this time period were Lutherans. Also, the hymn they sing during the barn religious ceremony was sung in Norwegian. more
Goofs:
Continuity: When Johnny first appears, he, Rebecca and Benjo are all in fields close to the house that are covered in snow. Moments later as the doctor arrives, the snow has largely disappeared and is seen only in patches. more

a predictable story, 10 December 2002
Author: MLDinTN from TN

Sure, the plot of this film has been told time and time again. But, I always like stories like this, so I liked this one also. It is your basic story of a widow who is being bothered by bad guys and a tough, handsome guy shows up to help her out, and they eventually fall in love. And the twist here is the widow is a "plain" woman, so she must choose between the outsider and her family and religion. The film also had beautiful scenery. It could have been a little shorter because the plot seems to drag at times.

FINAL VERDICT: If you like romantic stories, where the lady has to be rescued by a handsome stranger, then you'll like this one too.
