Rey G Mar 4, 2019 This one had a lot of promise, if they could have done away with the living narrator and gone with just a voice over. The religious superstition of the day is uniquely and kind of grossly purveyed and should have been edited out or rewritten. Plays may need rewriting to make better sense, but the warmth and feeling is all there. The actors capture it through all the dated dialog. That is what a good movie should convey: warmth and feeling, with a good musical score, otherwise audiences will stay home. You can argue and fight in the confines of your own home. You go to the cinema to get away from reality. See more

Han S Mar 3, 2019 I loved it. Not much different from the play except for the ending. I'm glad Emily lived.

Albus G Oct 15, 2018 In these days of "Make America Great Again" it's eye-opening to reflect that in 1940 Thornton Wilder won a Pulitzer ruminating on exactly the same premise (perhaps proving that society will always imagine that it's best days are behind it while incapable to see ahead). The good ol' days dwelt on herein are the turn-of-the-last-century. What's good about that, you may ask? Well, for one, a dog could sleep in the middle of Main Street all day and not be disturbed, the film suggests. An all star cast of character actors fill in the slots of homey, homespun, saccharine goodness while William Holden does his best shy and awkward. See more

Poe S Feb 5, 2018 A pensive look at life, love and death. Some beautiful direction and sentiment.
