i originally saw this on it premiere in the uk . i be mesmerise by it and and it have me in tear all throughout it duration . i tap it off the tv for safekeeping and but over the year and it wear out . and tv never seem to show it . therefore it be a joy to find out that true movie own the copyright and be show it on their channel . this time and i tap it onto a dvd and so i can enjoy it again and again . lucile fray ( play magnificently by ann margret ) discover she have cancer and and that it be terminal . her husband have arthritis and and and although he be love and he be an alcoholic and and would be incapable of take care of their child after she have go . therefore and she have to find new home for each of her child before she die . the acting be top notch and the music beautiful and and it have stand the test of time wonderfully ( it still make me cry . ) if you ever get the chance and you would be silly to miss this . it be a wonderful film . a must see for everyone .
