Sentimental but great!

I must confess that this is one of my favorite movies from the WW2 genre.  However, as corny as it seems it is relevant to some today.  My husband is currently deployed-again and each time I enter the house after dropping him off at the airport or Schofield or any other post we have been to in the 6 years of our marriage I feel like "Anne Hilton" when I return home and see his chair sitting empty where he had just sat in it hours before.

Jennifer Jones (who filed divorce papers from then husband Robert Walker the day after their final scene was filmed) showed the depth of her craft.  Even though they were going their separate ways both played like two young people falling in love.

Agnes Moorehead is perfect as the stuck up woman who feels that hosting tea dances is all she needs to do to support the troops and can't understand why a young lady such as Jones would want to volunteer in a VA hospital.  Hattie McDaniel gives her usual stellar performance although in a minimal role.  Monty Woolery is typecast to be a cranky old man but softens when he spends time with the Hilton family and realizes that perhaps he was too harsh with  his now dead grandson (Walker).  Jospeh Cotten is the typical Naval Officer playboy who seems to have a number of girls in port.

While the movie is long it is worth watching.  It should serve as a reminder of the sacrifices made by every family who sends a loved one off to war--no matter what war it is.

If you can get over the sentimentality this is quite a good story. It's hard to believe that such an amazing girl existed.

Loved and adored this album in '81 when it was released, still do today! Steinman a genius, all the tracks bring both tears of joy and sadness when I recall the happy days i spent listening to them. Now nearly 40, never grew up! hope there are a few more sad old souls out there who treasure these good memories!

When I first started reading this book it started so childish that I thought there was NO way I was going to finish it. Thank goodness I didn't give up on it that easily! The more I read, the more enchanting the characters became (so much so, that I had to tell my boyfriend all about them and even HE was interested). But I have to say the true love of this book comes from the ending. It's just beautiful and so sentimental to me. I don't know if the author intended for this or not but throughout the book I personally had little respect for Desiree, until the end, what an amazing story and if I was to reread it, I'm sure I'd see the main character in such a different light. =)

This is a wonderful classic film. Since it was made in the war days, it's very cheerful and unrealistic....but that adds to it's charm! I love the ending, even though it's a bit too.....um, unrealistic. I reccomend this to anyone who likes classic and old films!

Of course I love it!  It is romantic and sentimental and connects me to my husband who passed away in 2012.  I miss him.

This is one of the most beautiful modern children's book I have ever read. Call me sentimental, but it made me cry the first few times I read it to my son. This is not only for parents and kids, but for people who love books. I think there's a real trend in nostalgia for the printed word. You can read about it here: [...]

These were such an emotional purchase for me! I had these three books as a child and read them constantly!  Over the years, I  lost the green and the brown ones, so when I saw this online, I immediately purchased them for our granddaughters library! Thanks for the memories!

Legacy is wonderful!!! It was nice to hear the old songs with the new voices. It was bittersweet not to hear George's voice but we knew it had to happen. I look forward to getting Legacy, Vol. 2. And hopefully, a brand new show next year.

Phil Coulter has created and performed many wonderful pieces of music.  This is one of my favorite and portrays the feelings for another time when life was better.  It conveys the point that our memories are so important and the good memories will always stand strongest.

I love this little scrapbook about a girl looking for her cat! So sweet, and the memories can be treasured forever! Blessings to Kassidy and her family as she battles through Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, and I wish the family all the best!

Very sentimental!!!  Filled with his most popular songs and others that were not as popular.  All of his music is beautiful.
