Trivia
This was Olivia de Havilland's first film role in three years. She was suspended by Warner Brothers after she filed suit against the studio on August 23, 1943, and was officially fired upon winning her suit by unanimous decision on December 8, 1944. Because of this lawsuit and her reputation as a perfectionist, de Havilland was labeled "difficult" in show business, temporarily making her an undesirable choice for many producers.

Goofs
When Captain Cosgrove shuts off the power to his biplane, it continues to glide on a level path. Biplanes have very high drag because they have two wings and all the supports in between. The plane would have started to fall toward the ground, not continue on. The clouds in the background show a level path of travel.

What a celebration of motherhood!

The title of the movie was misleading,but as a huge fan of Ms. de Havilland, I watched this movie. It was a very tender story of the enduring and endearing love a mother had for her child.

It brought to mind the contrast of today's societal views of unwed mothers(as it were).

The story made me even more grateful to have 3 wonderful sons.

I would love watch this movie with my mom and my five sister,on the day before mothers' day. What a good way to have your 'tears jerked'! What a celebration of motherhood!

I will be happy when it is released on DVD. Hopefully very soon.
