This is a movie that I have seen hundreds of times over the years and it is a great one. I had first seen this film when I was a kid. There was a TV channel that I use to watch as a kid. The show,Million Dollar Movie, was on WOR TV channel 9 in New York. They would show the same movie every day, twice a day, for a week. And most of the movies were black and white and from the 1940's and 50's. Some times I would watch the same movie over and over for a week. This movie, Since You Went Away, was one of those movies. It had a great cast with Claudette Colbert,Joeseph Cotten, Jennifer Jones, Shirley Temple, Monty Woolley, Lionel Barrymore, Robert Walker, Hattie McDaniel, Agnes Moorehead,and Guy Madison.
The film tells the story of how a woman copes at home while her husband has gone off to fight World War II. It is funny and it is sad. It brought a tear to Uncle Willie's eyes a couple of times. So if you see this on TMC watch it you won't be disappointed. And if you really like the movie buy it at Amazon, be sure to tell them Uncle Willie sent you and they will do absolutely nothing for you.
Here is the openning of Million Dollar Movie from the 70's.
