My Mom wanted to watch this movie today and I vaguely remembered it so I was game:
I only vaguely remembered this, and this is the reason why:
I was only three years old when this movie came out, but I do remember in the beginning, “He took daddy‘s boots!” And I remember the ending with him holding her in his arms and the sun was shining through the window.
I was reminded of my aunt Rita and I asked my Mom if we saw this at her house house which sounds kind of familiar.
