Love this film...
...mainly because of Olivia de Havilland's tremendous performance as Virginia, I just cannot help but relate to her character. I hear the DVD is out in June, can't wait!

One of my favorite films. Olivia De Havilland is superb and maybe her finest performance, though she's also excellent in The Heiress. I also have to see To Each His Own before giving a definitive statement as to what I believe is her best performance.
"Dry your eyes baby, it's out of character."
I adored it too, it wouldn't have been the same without Olivia but generally the whole film was brilliant!
Every parting from you is like a little eternity.
No one can say this wasn't an Olivia de Havilland movie. She put the whole thing on her brow and carried it. Her concerned and confused furrowed brow was this close to being corny and over done, but she carried it off.
She deserves a lot of the accolades for the success of the movie. Alfred Newman, the composer, was another huge contributor.
Life is never fair, and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not.
Great, great movie! From the beginning scene to the end, I was totally engrossed! Can't wait to get it on DVD.
