**** Our Very Own Fine Film

5 years after her solid supporting Oscar nomination for "Mildred Pierce," Ann Blyth gave another strong showing as the high school graduate-to-be who discovers that she is adopted.

Of course, we keep young precocious children away from installer's and repair people. You will not be able to keep away from Natalie Wood's performance as that obnoxious, but yet compelling child.

The film is outstanding since it deals not only with family values and strong relationships, it is a joy to see for the positive message that it ultimately brings.

Jane Wyatt and her husband certainly didn't know best by hiding the fact that Gail (Blyth) was adopted. These things always have a way of coming out and Gail feels cheated and that she suddenly doesn't belong home.

Ann Dvorak is great as her real mother.

Wonderful film and the ending is so good as we learn to appreciate what we have.
