Review of The Blue Veil

The Blue Veil (1951)
SAD, AND TRIUMPHANT
7 November 1998
I remember seeing this movie when I was ten years old. It was a winter day and I was home from school, sick. The movie came on and we didn't have remote control, and I was too weak to get out of bed, so I was really forced into watching it.

It turned out to be one of my favorite movies, even though I've only seen it once. It is a transforming story as we watch Jane Wyman go from family to family through many years, taking care of the children, and then being moved on when they become too old for a nanny, each time breaking the hearts of all involved.

the end is so moving, but if you haven't seen it, It wouldn't be fair for me to ruin it for you. See it, by all means. This is a rare movie that I have never seen on Video nor on TV since that time. If you run across it, I highly recommend that you tape or buy it, whatever the case may be.
