  • My grandfather had this same story in his own life. Born in 1907, father died from TB in 1918, mother in 1921. Many children, who were split up. A real-life tragedy.

  • Anne Margaret did a movie like this when she played the mothers part..

  • It's on TCM tomorrow (Sunday 12/5) at 8 AM.

  • This movie is available for purchase at frankcoins (dot) com on ebay sales

  • A wonderful little movie with a lot of pathos, but a lot of heart as well. The ending is so bittersweet it makes you cry. Highly recommended.

  • You can get this movie from a place called Books and Movies in Ottumwa, Iowa

  • Oh my goodness, it's the Bad Seed, McCormick! I can't stand that little kid! She still gives me nightmares

  • I saw this movie in the cinema when i was about 9 yo and now that I am 42 I could still recall my tears that flowed freely then. Would you by any chance know how I can get the DVD too? thanks ya

  • @stevenheong I bought this movie this past January at a Big Lots near me for a few bucks. Perhaps you might be able to find it there this Christmas season if you haven't bought it already.

  • Finaly I saw this on tv once and it took me a year to find out what is was called and it's the first old movie I like to watch with my mom lol

  • Produced by RKO in 1956, the film was based on a true story first published in Cosmopolitan by Dale Eunson and titled The Day They Gave Babies Away. The story was adapted by Eunson and his wife Katherine for the cinema version.

    my mom and i used to watch this and weep like babies. if you can watch and not cry, you must be dead.

  • is this based on a true story?

  • How sad!!! I couldn't watch, did the mother die?  No, don't tell me.

  • She was so pretty =[

    It was so sad when she died in this movie.

    But Ive only seen this part because of this video...

  • The mother is Glynis Johns an English (Welsh Born) actress . . . you may know her as the mother in Mary Poppins. or the mermaid in Miranda. The last movie i saw her in she played the grandma in "While You Were Sleeping"

  • @claracrazy2008 i know she was wasn't she? :( and yh it was more than sad when she died in this movie it was tragic :( glynis johns is amazing isn't she?(: xx

  • i never watched it b4

  • Being adopted, this movie just floored me when I saw it. I was in the navy and we always had a movie to see on board. Well, all these young tough dudes sat down to see it and by the middle of the movie there was total silence and by the end there was not a dry eye to be found. I have seen it a number of times since then and it always moves me. Sad? Profoundly, so. I do believe that was THE reason it was not a hit at the box office. However, it is a movie that was superbly done. Thanks.

  • do you know where i can i purchased this movie either beta, vhs or dvd?

  • Sorry for not getting back to you. I just stumbled across your question. Right now, there are at least 2 available on Ebay. Hope that helps.

  • I am also looking for a copy of this movie in CD or DVD format. Please send me an email if you can get one and from
