I first saw this movie when I was 8 years old. I was staying with my Nanna for the school holidays and we both sat up and watched it and cried our eyes out. I had seen it a few times since but not for many years until last week it finally came up on Movie Greats on Foxtel.
It is one of the most poignant movies I have ever seen and Jane Wyman and Van Johnson are just great. It is also a great movie for spotting people in it who were later to become famous (ie Arte Johnson). Also the guy who plays the waiter in the Normandy Cafe is the croupier from Casablanca.
I always felt sorry that she never comes face to face with her father though.
One thing, however, I am never quite sure whether or not Jane Wyman dies at the end or she has just collapsed.
