Top Critics' Reviews

Fresh: Producer-Director George Stevens has transferred the John van Druten play, via a free-wheeling script by DeWitt Bodeen, in all its genial personality to the screen. – Bosley Crowther, New York Times, Jul 16, 2008

Fresh: Thin, manipulative, and overlong, but frighteningly effective. – Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader, Jun 24, 2010

Fresh: A charmer, nevertheless, directed and acted with real delicacy. – Tom Milne, Time Out, Nov 13, 2007

Fresh: It's not just the turn-of-the-century setting that gives this warm-hearted film an old-fashioned feel, rather it's the values it celebrates. – Film4, Jun 24, 2010

Great Movie

One of the best classic films ever. A must see. Rent it if you get the time. I loved every minute. Has lots of family values. Something you don't see alot of anymore. I give it 2 thumbs up!!!!!

A Rarity Among Movies

This not "Mama's Bank Account", but it is just as good as the book. A sentimental journey of Norwegian immigrants in turn of the century (19th to 20th) San Francisco. I read the book and watched the TV series, starring Peggy Wood (unfortunately it was a live TV show and never recorded). I was a very sentimental 10 yo and loved this story. Another classic movie for George Stevens.

Great!

Just a fantastic movie. A diamond in the rough!
