Ida Lupino was a legend . So much love for her here by those of us that know that already , but still saddens me that in most main stream she gets no mention at all.She could act any role, sing, direct, write and produce -What else does she need to have done to get some recognition? Deserves a movie or TV mini series to document her amazing achievements Meanwhile great Movie with Sally Forrest perfect in this role and the supporting cast spot on in a very well directed and written screenplay.Never too mawkish or melodramatic , instead thoughtful look at the situation as it was then.Nobody here is bad , bad things just happen.Thanks PizzaFix.

For so many unwed mothers, placing them for adoption, putting the emotional and physical needs of her child(ren) ahead of her own desire is the greatest gift of love she could give them.

[@LuciThomasHardylover-qx6ts]

Ouch! How does putting a child up for adoption meet their physical and emotional needs? Even just basic biological needs of an infant to stay in close skin constant with their mother isn't met. Are you confusing a social stigma that makes life hard to bring up a child on your own with a woman's inability to meet her child's needs? Or you think that the unmarried part makes a physical difference to a child's needs? What about the huge numbers of children in this era who lost fathers they never met or couldn't remember because of the war? Were they damaged by not being put up for adoption? Your comment doesn't make sense.

[@csrollyson]

@Jack Cleary Yes, I first encountered it in geometry. Here I meant that the actors and their interactions were powerful because each actor/tress was congruent with the role, so it felt to me that they weren't acting, they _were_ that role. Part of that is the actress/actor, but part of it is the director who sets up their interactions. A director is a conjuror. Ida Lupino is a master.

[@STho205]

for real. Most do, especially a girl this young. She ran from her parents to chase the man, and then was too proud to return. It is a melodrama, and she therefore makes many things hard on herself. This movie was remade in 1982. "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" the Stacey plot. For all the modern choices for that 15yr old, the institutions were much colder, darker and relatively heartless. The "Free" Clinic even charged her $150 and she was back on the street in a few minutes with no compassion.

@@annielehnhardt_kolakowski5818 It is very different today where there is help for single mothers. Back then, not only was an unwed mother dealing with the judgment of society, but the child was labeled a bastard. And the mother had to do everything on her own, because usually the family disowned her. This movie has a happy ending which is more than a lot of women had back then when the entire affair was kept secret forever and haunted them for as long as they lived. And, as you saw, closed adoption meant never knowing what exactly happened to the baby.

They live in a comfortable middle class neighborhood and are parents to a boy and girl. Sally is able to visit the couple who adopted her firstborn child. Sally is thrilled to see the child and she must decide if it's okay to have some contact with the family from time to time or just have closure and focus on her own family.

The actor that portrayed the pianist must have practiced long and hard to synch his movements with the music. He's so much better than most movie "pianists" that just wiggle their fingers in the general direction the piano music is taking. While he did not play the actual sounds we're hearing (I'm a professional pianist, I can tell) he did do a darn good job of faking it! Now that's an actor who's willing to work for his craft.

WHAT A GREAT ATTITUDE DREW BAXTER GOT! HE WON'T LET A HANDICAP ROB HIS JOY IN LIFE!

No kidding....I was just thinking his character is the most overlooked, and I'm glad she wound up with him

[@mastermooky]

her vulnerability was at once, enticing, and heart rending. you just wanted to hold her, and tell her everything would be alright. she didn't steal my heart, I gave it willingly

[@mastermooky]

@@Carol-rl8xt gee thanks, but honestly, I'm just a joe, but I know my heart. what I wouldn't give to be in the life of someone like that

I felt bad for the guy at the end, instead of running away, she could have talked to him, and apologized for hurting him, then tell him she needing to figure out things herself and heal outside the courthouse. But thank him for caring and want to stay friends.

Great old movies the best. So much better than today movies. My kinda of movies thank you for the upload.

All that's left to keep us sane. The present was their future...ain't looking too good. i remember the 1950's, very similar to what is in this movie. Looking back, it's dreamlike.

excellent film now on bluray. forrest is excellent as the sympathetic lead who faces the challenge of being an unwed mother. brilliant direction by lupino after the original director had a heart attack early on. lupino left his name on the credits, but she directed almost the entire picture herself. touching human drama, a genre i love a great deal. i want to see all of lupinos films now

loving the classics all-day long

[@richardnogan4579]

Excellent. I was a little impatient in the beginning but the plot built up to a great climax. Definitely well worth watching.

[@greekveteran2715]

Ida Lupino, what a talent! She was as good in front as she was behind the camera!!! What a movie!!!

[@sheristewart3940]

Riveting! Thanks for the excellent upload!

[@GiGiCherry877]

Sniff sniff 😥 I couldn’t wait .... excellent movie ...... do yourself a favor and watch it!!

[@mikeylorene]

Sally Forrest reminds me a bit of Nicole Kidman. There's another beautiful Sally Forrest movie- "The Young Lovers" also directed by Ida Lupino. In case you haven't seen it yet, it is a true story and they have it right here on KZbin.

[@pennypiper7382]

mikeylorene ..thanks for the tip. Yes she does resemble a very young Nicole Kidman.

[@manjulareddy9946]
