i love old movie and especially try to watch the one i have hear of but never see . for the most part when i do this i be somewhat disappointed in the movie . this be the exception . this movie be well worth watch . i think the casting be excellent and the character develop well and scenery be great . it be like a walk back in time . i especially like the way that many different character be develop and and you want to know more about each of them . you wonder how they live the rest of their life . this be to me a true test of how good a movie be . do the boy make it home from the war alive . do allison become a famous writer . do connie and the principal get marry . i wish there be a part two to this movie . i would stand in line to watch it .
