Great Romance & War Picture Classic !
23 December 2004
Have not viewed this film in years and greatly enjoyed seeing this Great Film Classic and the fantastic cast of all time great actors from the 40's. Irene Dunne(Susan Dunn Ashwood),"I Remember Mama",'48 was an American gal who loved England and its great History and was overwhelmed with the countryside and its grandeur. Susan visited England with her father, Frank Morgan(Hiram Porter Dunn), "Green Dolphin Street," '47, a newspaper editor and a very out spoken man concerning his opinions of the English and there way of living and came into conflict with his daughters feelings. While in England they stayed at a sort of Bed & Breakfast and Susan ran into Alan Marshall,(Sir John Ashwood),"House on Haunted Hill",'59, who fell madly in love with Susan despite their family backgrounds. Van Johnson,(Sam Bennett),"Clowning Round",'92, made a few brief appearances and was very young and attractive and seemed to meet Susan always on the run or with bad timing. Hiram Porter Dunn ran into a conflict with C. Aubrey Smith,(Colonel),"Little Woman",'49 over a chess board that belonged to Dolly Madison, and Hiram felt that he should return it back to the White House. This is a great film concerning Romance and the horrible effects of War on all the families involved. Enjoy!
