Let me add my voice to the chorus of praise for this film. Its power is nearly magical, having to do with the quality of the play by John Van Druten upon which it is based, along with the screenplay by DeWitt Bodeen and the sensitive performances of the cast, especially Irene Dunne and Barbara Bel Geddes. This film manages to be powerful with sentimentality, conveying the fragility and brevity of life and the dignity and compassion with which many human beings have lived it. This is a tearjerker of the finest kind, a film that can restore a cynic's faith in integrity.
