Terrific movie


Some days when I watch movies like this I can understand why people want to return to this sort of life whether it really existed or not.

I remember a Twilight Zone episode where the guy got off the train to this wonderful life. Too bad it didn't end with. "we don't know where he went. He was on the train and when it arrived he was gone". Instead of the way it did.

Wonderful movie with great acting all around.

Amen DaytonaBob!

Not only do I yearn for films like this but I can also sadly imagine this kind of movie receiving cynical and dismissive reviews if it were released today. Movies have to have an "edge" before they're taken seriously anymore.

Wholesomeness premeates it at every turn and one gets the feeling this kind of Americana - parental respect, family dinners, men who were honest to the core - is long gone.
