Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

JohnHowardReid Here's the kind of movie that Hollywood motion picture studios don't make any more. It's a little domestic drama such as you might see on TV, but this one is played with restraint and sincerity. On the other hand, of course, for all the "restraint" and "sincerity", it doesn't ring true. "Well," you'll exclaim, "it isn't supposed to ring true! It's supposed to present an ideal of domesticity that will make people buy something." Thus the photography is too glossy, the principal players too charming. And yet for all its phoniness, the movie does muster some appeal thanks mostly to Eleanor Parker. Mr. Morgan unfortunately doesn't sing, so that knocks him out, while Dane Clark and Faye Emerson are obviously hemmed in by the stereotyped characters they're forced to play. Direction and other credits are both unobtrusively smooth and relentlessly unexciting. Perhaps the main appeal of this movie lies in its nostalgic thrust of the middle-class values that were all the rage in 1944-45!

springhua2 Very good classic love story, even for today! I just watched it last week and did not see the movie name, but I finally find it from this web today.There are still same excited real love stories today, but they will probably not happen with our ever great soldiers now.The scenes of this movie were not so complex, but totally real, and I am truly touched by the true love between Eleanor and Dennis.And also touching are the deep comradeship between Den and his buddy(Sorry, I forgot his name).By the way, I wonder if people still can drive to the top of Mt. Wilson today.

trpdean I had very low expectations when I saw this yesterday. "Nothing else on" television was the excuse I made myself for watching it. I had no particular interest in the leads (though Eleanor Parker was good as the baroness in Sound of Music, I didn't really know her otherwise) and Morgan had generally left me flat (though I did like him in Christmas in Connecticut).And then I saw this quite realistic dialog about picking up two girls on a bus - and following them - and their reactions! And then a very strange bickering family - unlike any I expected to see in a World War II film - where families are almost always peaches and cream. And I thought, "well, this movie is different!" It got better and better and better - primarily because you really are brought to believe that despite despite overwhelming odds, these two - Parker and Morgan - really do fall in love. They're very modest, they've such limited hopes, and those hopes are so fragile - that you root for these two very gentle modest people so intently - as almost everyone they know - as well as all the worldwide events, conspire against them.It's a very simple movie plot that is told with such verve, such overwhelming conviction by the participants fully invested in the wonder of the tale, that you are simply swept away. With low expectations, I just love it - and looked to buy it when I next came to the computer.There are few movies that seem to bring people from another decade right into your home - real people with besetting problems and far from ideal surroundings - and whom you want to succeed so very badly.Thanks to all who participated in this movie! You won no awards but you certainly won my heart!

byron f. ware The greatest generation. This movie shows the struggle during WWII. The struggle for love and togetherness. Times were great, people were sincere and generous. Families stuck together during the threat of adversity. Eleanor Parker and Dennis Morgan are great examples of love and devotion. The excitement of meeting and enjoying our freedom in a time of war. Seeing children play our families enjoying a Christmas and Thanksgiving dinner. Our troops had to fight for our freedom and way of life. This B movie shows woman working in factories. In all this movie will give future generations how we struggled to enjoy the normal life of love and family. And how our veterans secured our freedom and our way of life today.
