The effects of one’s actions is a very important message in I Remember Mama. However, there were times when I found it difficult to understand what they were trying to say. Even though most of the story revolves around Mama and Aunt Trina gets her own subplot, Aunt Jenny and Aunt Sigrid aren’t given much to do within the story. I won't rehash the marvelous moments already documented here (though that scene of the boy smoking, the window shutting, the girls going in and out of rooms, the rejection letter, etc., is utterly brilliant). The family unity and commitment to one another in the movie was heart wrenching. Video and sound quality is very good. The writing, the cast, and the characters make relatively commonplace events seem significant and interesting, the episodic style works very well, and the story-telling is well done.

Meet Me In St Louis set circa 1903 centres on a more affluent family no less warm and human for all their wealth, and for good measure, it boasts both technicolor and a memorable score. The novel by Kathryn Forbes spawned this movie, a play, a TV series, and finally a Broadway musical. The simplicity of the story and the way that it is told are what makes the film such a pleasure to watch. Close-ups of people’s faces were also commonly used throughout this film.

Check it out, this is a movie about real folks living real life without all of the sentimental garbage. Outstanding cast and well acted. My husband's grandparents were Norwegian immigrants whose children, like the Hanson's children, were born in the US. They Don't Make 'Em Like This Anymore!!!! - Pity. A black and white classic that hits home. Since I’ve never participated in Genre Grandeur before, I decided to give it a try. Nor does it gloss over the dullness and disasters of ordinary family life. Life, of course, is unfair and the fine Viennese actress Mady Christians created two roles in memorable Broadway plays, Watch On The Rhine and I Remember Mama, played them to great acclaim on Broadway and then lost out when they were adapted for the screen and had to watch Bette Davis and Irene Dunne don the mantle that had been stripped from her. As Hallmark continues to grow and as more movies get created every year, there is a need for movie news sources and movie blogs. Fans of The Waltons would recognize Ellen Corby as Esther “Grandma” Walton. This was the best.

In one scene, Uncle Chris’ face is presented as a close-up when he tells his nieces to move out of his way. In this film, all the cast members pulled off an excellent performance! For her fifth and final Oscar nomination for Best Actress, Irene Dunne aged herself a might, took the Scandinavian accent from Loretta Young who won an Oscar the year before in The Farmer's Daughter and did a wonderful job in the lead role of I Remember Mama. Irene Dunne may be the lead actress, but she never overshadows anyone. And, yes, the movie is sentimental. Anyway, I'm a dude, see, and I'm not much into the melodramas and tear-jerkers though i do love old movies, but, one night when I couldn't sleep I caught this on TCM or AMC and decided to watch it. The aunts as played by Corby, Landin, and Evanson are wonderful. This page works best with JavaScript. Starting with the very basic premise of the Kathryn Forbes' novel and play--the relatively minor trials and tribulations of a Norwegian immigrant family in early Twentieth Century San Francisco--the stories have real heart and soul.

The problem with "I Remember Mama" or just "Mama" is that there just weren't enough kinetoscopes made of the episodes.

When Uncle Chris went...boy, it was hard to keep that facewater from flowing! The story is universal, not just about a Norwegian family in turn of the 20th Century San Francisco. Often amusing, often contemplative, and always enjoyable, "I Remember Mama" is about as good as any movie ever made about family life. A perfect example is when Katrin begins to narrate her story.

i remember mama reviews


That’s because some of them immigrated to the United States prior to the events that take place in the movie. But in spite of all this, I Remember Mama is one of the most sweetly uplifting pictures of its era. The film brought back many memories of the stories his mother told of growing up in a country where the children spoke English and the parents were learning the language in order to work and make a decent living and provide an education for their kids. Dunne is so totally wonderful in this film--and what a film. Even though in modern day, familys are not as close knit has depicted in this film, it make your heart wish that it was. That’s where 18 Cinema Lane comes in, to provide movie reviews and some movie news for Hallmark and other movies that spark my interest. Starting with the very basic premise of the Kathryn Forbes' novel and play--the relatively minor trials and tribulations of a Norwegian immigrant family in early Twentieth Century San Francisco--the stories have real heart and soul. Since I found this movie to be so good, it definitely has become a favorite when it comes to “ensemble films”! Does anyone know why it was canned on Broadway? I was SURE it was going to be some boring old flick that would help me fall sleep. Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2014. PLEASE RELEASE, I REMEMBER MAMA, A TREE GROWS IN BROOKLYN, THE PITCURE OF DORIAN GRAY and a higher quality DVD restoration of PENNY SERENADE!!! Where have all the classic tv shows gone? This is a monthly blogathon where different themes are chosen by various bloggers. Before long, the tears were flowing and I could only think about how hard life must of been for my own parents raising 5 children. And what a magnificent cast, headed by the incomparable Irene Dunne! In this film, all the cast members pulled off an excellent performance! Just as he did in "Alice Adams", he captured the small things in family life that break your heart or make you laugh. The more time passes and the more inundated we become with the raunchy, violent, frenetic world around us, the more amazing this film becomes. I Remember Mama came out of RKO when that studio was in its darkest phase, and most of its output was creepy little horrors and thrillers, under the guidance of Dore Schary, who a few years after this would add a streak of gritty realism to MGM's dream world.
