		It's a melodrama, but it's so well-played that you won't mind the plethora of misfortunes that befall the family of women (Teresa Wright as an adolescent, Shirley Temple as a "teen", and Claudette Colbert as their mother) left alone when the father has to go off to war.

		Relocating with her family to the United States when she was only five years old, Colbert pursued a career in design, but, once she was offered minor parts in the theater and in films, she then developed a serious interest in acting.
		One of the most “versatile” (Mercury) actresses of the golden age, Colbert appeared in numerous films throughout the ’40s and ’50s, and then retired from the cinema to apply her talents to the Broadway stage.
