 The Joy Luck Club
Four mothers, four daughters, four families whose histories shift with the four winds depending on who's "saying" the stories.
Mothers boast or despair over daughters, and daughters roll their eyes even as they feel the inextricable tightening of their matriarchal ties.

 EWG Report || Bodyburden: Across Generations   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Among the eight mothers and daughters tested, we found that an average of 93 percent of the chemicals daughters harbor in their body tissues and fluids are also found in their mothers, compared to just 81 percent held in common between daughters and 16 other women who were tested.
This difference was statistically significant in three of four daughters, and emerged despite the fact that many chemicals in the study are expected to be found in most people tested, regardless of family connections.
A daughter's birth load of inherited pollution can last a lifetime, and a daughter can act as a conduit from grandmother to granddaughter, passing inherited chemicals to her own children during pregnancy and nursing.

Now, new laboratory tests of mothers and their daughters show that these same two facets of nature and nurture — genetics and environment — combine to create another, unwanted aspect of the ties that bind: a common body burden of industrial chemicals.
Tests commissioned by the Environmental Working Group of four mothers and their daughters found that each of the eight women's blood or urine was contaminated with an average of 35 consumer product ingredients, including flame retardants, plasticizers, and stain-proof coatings.
This study shows an unexpected link between mothers and daughters, not in looks, personality, or genetics, but in industrial pollution: All four daughters tested had more chemicals in common with their mothers than with a group of 16 other women who were tested; in three of four daughters this difference was statistically significant.

Four Daughters is the story of the Lemp family, a family of musicians living in a university town, their young boarder named Felix Detz, and his friend the tragic loner, Mickey Borden, who enters into their lives.
They could have skimped and done it with "Three Daughters," but however I'm glad they had four of them in the movie, even though there were only 3 Lane sisters to play the parts and they had to go outside the family and bring in the luminous Gale Page to play the oldest sister, Emma.
FOUR DAUGHTERS has a strange, passionate beauty, and an emotional connection with its audience that is very rare indeed, particularly as it is built on this incredibly witty and dapper Noel Coward style dialogue.

John Garfield made so powerful an impression in Four Daughters that Warners was compelled to write him into the sequel Four Wives, first as a flashback and then as (implicitly) a ghost.
Another film, Daughters Courageous, was hastily constructed using the same cast, but with different character names so as to accommodate a happier denouement for Garfield and Lane.
Four Daughters was remade in 1954 as Young at Heart, with Frank Sinatra and Doris Day in the John Garfield and Priscilla Lane roles.

The story weaves from character to character, beginning with the death of one of the mothers, and the unfolding of a story that reaches backwards into her past, and ahead to the futures of all the children, and underlines the huge gap between generations that can so easily occur between countries, ages, and cultures.

You mustn't let it become a private thing between you and your daughter or she probably will resent it.
When/if the time comes that you have to increase the severity of the spankings, don't be tempted to use belts, canes, etc. - they are NOT necessary.
