it was an excellent movie for the way family life was experienced in the 1930's in the USA. good cast and script. it showed how a family can work together against all odds and come up with a positive outcome. it was unusual because it showed the values of how befriending an elderly invalid neighbor was the right thing to do. it also showed how resourcefulness by the young Bill could provide help to the family. I liked the way the sisters learned from their mistakes and came to the realization that their mom was really a pretty good one all along. its like a lot of young people find out that their parents aren't really so bad after all but they have learn this over a period of time.
