Summary: Bittersweet Family Drama
Comment: This is a film about a mother who discovers she has inoperable cancer and has to find good homes for all her many children. Her husband, though well-meaning, is a hopeless drunkard totally unable to cope or to help much. They live in a house far from town, somewhere in "Darkest America", I think Iowa or Michigan (not sure about that). The story takes one up and down, through all sorts of trauma and eventually comes up with as happy an ending as possible under the trying circumstances. The last ten minutes keep you guessing as it seems one child (quite normal save for mild epilepsy) looks like being abandoned alone in a state orphanage...this is a 5-star tearjerker and a half! Great film though and not schmaltzy at all, really, bearing in mind the subject-matter. Apparently it is a true story. My wife loved it and kept the Kleenex handy. But it is a great film and is recommended, even for men --lol--!

Summary: Get the tissues ready!!!
Comment: I first saw this film a good few years ago and have been searching everywhere for a copy - it is that good.A trully heartbreaking story, where you are left asking yourself could I do that if I were in their situation.
Ann-Margret's performance is outstanding and the performances of the children are so emotional and heartfelt - that you almost forget you are watching a film, you feel more like you are peering in on someone else life.
If you like a film with a good story that leaves you thinking this is the film for you.
