(DVD, Warner Bros.)
Episodic story of a family of Norwegian immigrants in San Francisco. They deal with a series of misfortunes: the youngest daughter's operation in a hospital, an injured cat, a dying uncle and a graduation present are the main ones. Irene Dunne holds the family together with her thriftiness and heart, although she might work a little harder on her Norwegian accent. Barbara Bel Geddes is the sensitive teenager who wants to be a writer. It's overlong and at times over dramatic, but does at least have well developed characters and a tearjerker ending.
