Title: Gut-wrenching melodrama that's actually quite fun.
Product review: Olivia de Havilland is excellent in this movie, which is a bit of a war melodrama and a bit of a woman's picture about the choices available to a pregnant, unmarried girl in a WWI-era small town.As Jodie, a girl who won't just settle for whomever proposes to her, she waits for true love, but, when it comes and goes too soon, she finds herself pregnant. Determined to keep her child and hide the scandal, the baby ends up in the household of one of her closest friends by mistake. Jodie, unfortunately, still is intent on keeping her child.The film spans 20 years, and, as you watch it, you keep waiting for the moment when she'll be able to hold the child she was forced to give away. When the moment truly comes, it's heartbreaking.De Havilland is absolutely terrific. The movie's fun.
