*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
Patricia Neal gives an outstanding performance as a dying widow that seeks a home for her three children in the first of a two-part installment of the family drama. The actress's distinctively husky voice and clear articulation perfectly fit the character and the dialog.
Her closing off-screen narration - a poetic farewell to her children - is beautifully executed:
"Remember me with smiles and laughter, for that is how I will remember you. If you can only remember with tears, then don't remember me at all."
Although the regular actors have their moments, the episode genuinely belongs to Neal, familiar to TV audiences as the original "Ma Walton" on the Christmas movie that served as that show's pilot.
David Rose's superb score for this episode would find itself being re-used in subsequent installments with similar "tear-jerking" results.
