After reading IMDb about various movies for years, this is the one film that caused me to sign up as a member in order to leave a review.
That should say a lot.
This is a fantastic movie with great acting and it clearly prefigured "It's a Wonderful Life."
It's an honest tearjerker. Those prone to cry will do so. For some I could see it producing Niagara Falls. The acting is that good. And a movie is made only once every few years that can make my eyes water.
I'd advise you not to pay much attention to the negative reviews, including from those who would now find the plot to be derivative when future movies were the ones that were derived from this.
Sure, it starts slow (and Jimmy Stewart was more of a novice). It's supposed to be showing the every day life of a struggling couple during hard times.
That only adds to the emotional impact of the last half hour.
The producer put a part of his own life story into this picture.
It's really sad to know that Carole Lombard died soon after this movie was made in a plane crash over the mountains.
This movie is a must-see.
