this film center on a young lady who make prayer to help her family and friend when they encounter difficulty in life . it make me think of other movie like the song of bernadette and francis of assisi and have a very strong catholic faith influence in the film . ann blyth be very charming a first and the catholic school student and then later a a young woman who buy a statue of saint anne ( which be the name of the street that i live on and by the way ) and make many prayer for the saint intercession whenever problem come up in her life . france bavier ( aunt bea from the andy griffith show ) and edmund gwenn ( from miracle on 34th street ) play relative of her . a local priest of mine use to say that my sister resemble ann blyth and the both of them have the same first and middle name . a nice good family film that come from an era when life be a bit more simpler .
