| User Reviewblair ksuch a good wartime drama. robert young is good as always. he was always a underrated actor. he has great chemistry with not only the female lead in this movie but also the kid actor/actress. he is so sweet toward the boy and girl. margaret o'brien plays the little girl perfectly. she was such a cute good child actress that knew her lines down pat. my fave movies are when she works with robert young. she didn't do many with him but when she did they were great together. |
