Was anyone else confused?


Okay I saw that this movie was on channel 9 at like 2 am the other morning and saw that it had Claudette Colbert in it who I love so I decided to watch it. But I was kind of confused, at the beginning she said she was pregnant but she never had the kid. Did she have a miscarriage and I missed it or what? I only got to see about half of the movie and then I fell asleep. I wish I would have seen the end though.

Okay, nevermind! Its amazing what you find out when you watch it again and don't leave for a bathroom break on that part. lol

Bit late, sorry - but a friend lent me that book a few weeks ago, and then I saw that it was on the TV, so I Tivo'd it - I expect you've got one of those by now, aren't they wonderful?

Apparently, Agnes miscarried about a month after the Japs invaded,, but I believe they later had a daughter post-war. I don't remember that from the book at all. I enjoyed the movie better than the book, in which Agnes Keith sruck me as a very cold, ruthless kind of fish and the way she describes her relations with the other women captives, well, life affirming it wasn't! She had been a bit unlucky - being attacked in the street and blinded, etc., in her early life - I suppose thst would make one a bit hard. What annoyed me, however, was the po-faced postscript she added to her book Three Came Home, about all the while we (Americans) had more than we needed, and others had less, there would never world peace. Thing is, what's the point of being American if you haven't got more than you need, you could have stayed home and got the bare minimum, couldn't you??

Geeze - I hope that "having more than you need" is not the sum total of being American. Gluttony and greed in the face of others' deprivation is not exactly the moral high ground.
