We need to pray for both of you. . The tenderness of a child did the job on this story ( and on little Lord Flaunteroy, as well). But I hope stories like this won't repeat. If they ever, we need to read the the parabola of the prodigal son until their hearts melt. . Nothing else to do but pray. And I ask you pray for me, too..

This is a great old classic , one of my very favourites it's nice to see this again !

[@cristineconnell7803]

I just never could have left 1 of my children, however this was an even earlier time when it was much harder for women alone trying to find decent work! Was a single parent on the streets young! Right at first I did consider finding a good home for adoption. I worked hard to take good care of mine & have dealt with & counseled the after effects of abused & neglected children! Emotional abuse/ neglect alone is extremely destructive to their development! I didn't have a lot of options, but a lot of good people stepped up! Gave me work I could do with him, safe places to stay, etc! We didn't have much, but a huge difference is made when you teach that you won't leave or forsake them! 40 yrs later he is my & my Mom's caregiver! And so worth the good & bad days that got us here! I wouldn't have changed a thing, though with his adhd there were some doozies! Lol Very good movie showing you never know where you will find kindness! So much unnecessary damage to a small boys fragile heart because the Grandfather can't find forgiveness! Powerful message! Thank you for sharing! Love the ending!

And the daughter was wrong not to ask for forgy. She made it very clear she only came because they didn't have anywhere else to go. She even told her child. Just as the prodigal son.

[@respecthewoman]

There were a lot of pedophiles in the movie industry back then, I don't like how they make that little girl look grown up.... I guess that was a child's version of chunky cheese for rich children? Looks like trying times are upon humanity once again and we're going to have to extend ourselves in helping one another.

[@martamariotto1181]

I can't put a dislike, but what a horrible story. What a disgusting person the father. Evil people like that don't make it all right in the end, like in the film. They are much worse than that, they don't have a latent goodness and love that just waits to be released or was there before. Evil people are evil and they don't change. And no I'm not talking about someone who kills and steals... I'm talking about people who can choose love but choose to have no empathy or compassion. Those people ruin lives more than the occasional assassin because there are plenty of them and they are relentless and they accompany you from the moment you are born for the rest of your life if you let them. In real life, there is no happy ending like in this movie.

[@crystaltaylor8241]

Marta Mariotto You sound like you are a very unhappy person. Yes, there are evil people in the world, but regardless your lot in life, there IS hope. And that hope is in Jesus Christ. He is there waiting for you to ask Him into your heart and life....to accept His free gift of eternal life. I can tell you, He can make this life a joy to live and a home in Heaven to look forward to. I will pray that you find your way to a personal relationship with Him. I would be happy to tell you how you can turn your life around and know peace and hope in Him. If you want, you can get in touch with me at [e-mail]. God bless.

[@kimgarcia8648]

I agree that although its a good movie, the story is horrible! Happened to me😓. Happens all the time today, for different reasons. It's called Parental Alienation. Keeping a child from their Parents for any reason is HORRIBLY WRONG!!!

They had to make a person angry, sad, evil and all the other negatives in order to make the miraculous change and final outcome a warm blessing. It's a DRAMA movie.

[@pilarquiroz3585]

I think the father was not completely evil. He loved that little boy, didn't he? He was able of sweet tenderness towards him. He was able to teach him right from wrong. ( Remember when he spoils him being all the clothes but...insists on he rescue the airplane himself). . He was just extremely hurt for all the love he gave her daughter and how ungratefully she run away. That's not a father's dream. Also...she comes back for interest; not for love for her father. . I think these stories are good to excite conversation and reflection on people. On parents to guide their children and to read again the parabol of the prodigal son. To some parentis harder to forgive that to others. . I cannot but wonder ....had she come humble, sweet, repented, asking for forgiveness (like at the end) and made herself forgiven....... . Nobody thought on the poor little boy's heart and abandonment issues. . But...it's a story. We learn from other people's stories. That's the point!.

Those Indian babies in South America were materially poor but rarely cried because they were always close to their mother when young.

This is a "Pre Code" Movie - HISTORICAL Pre-Code Hollywood refers to the brief era in the American film industry between the introduction of sound pictures in 1929[1] and the enforcement of the Motion Picture Production Code censorship guidelines, popularly known as the "Hays Code", in mid-1934. Although the Code was adopted in 1930, oversight was poor and it did not become rigorously enforced until July 1, 1934, with the establishment of the Production Code Administration (PCA). Before that date, movie content was restricted more by local laws, negotiations between the Studio Relations Committee (SRC) and the major studios, and popular opinion, than strict adherence to the Hays Code, which was often ignored by Hollywood filmmakers. As a result, films in the late 1920s and early 1930s included depictions of sexual innuendo, miscegenation, profanity, illegal drug use, promiscuity, prostitution, infidelity, abortion, intense violence, and homosexuality. Strong female characters were ubiquitous in such pre-Code films as Female, Baby Face, and Red-Headed Woman. Gangsters in films like The Public Enemy, Little Caesar, and Scarface were seen by many as heroic rather than evil. Along with featuring stronger female characters, films examined female subject matters that would not be revisited until decades later in US films. Nefarious characters were seen to profit from their deeds, in some cases without significant repercussions, and drug use was a topic of several films. Many of Hollywood's biggest stars such as Clark Gable, Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Blondell and Edward G. Robinson got their start in the era. Other stars who excelled during this period, however, like Ruth Chatterton (who decamped to England) and Warren William (the so-called "king of Pre-Code", who died in 1948), would wind up essentially forgotten by the general public within a generation.[2] Beginning in late 1933 and escalating throughout the first half of 1934, American Roman Catholics launched a campaign against what they deemed the immorality of American cinema. This, plus a potential government takeover of film censorship and social research seeming to indicate that movies which were seen to be immoral could promote bad behavior, was enough pressure to force the studios to capitulate to greater oversight.

[@dr.elizabethmartin7118]

Thanks, Chrome - great history re-cap for those not knowing. There were also classy, lovely pre-code films - mysteries, comedies - the only thing "bad' about those movies were the lovely, elegant silk dresses, etc the women wore WITHOUT BRAS. I love that look, but wouldn't wear it in public these days - even with all the revolting, revealing outfits the Hollywood females wear - so tacky they are, in my humble opinion! cheers

Thanks for the lesson. But it takes several paragraphs to understand what you meant by pre-code. . Anyway: where is it now? We need it back. Bring back some modesty, elegance, good taste.
