I Remember Mama [DVD]

"Irene Dunne stars as the mother anyone would love in this nostalgic picture directed by George Stevens. Chronicled by her aspiring-writer daughter (Barbara Bel Geddes), Mama is the matriarch of an immigrant Norwegian family in 1910 San Francisco. She and her husband bring up their four children with great humor and hope, amid genteel poverty in a new land. Meddling relatives, illnesses and near-death draw the family together, and all are close to Mama, the one person who can make things right. Nominated for five Academy Awards, this endearing and heartwarming classic brings together a flawless supporting cast, including Philip Dorn, Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Edgar Bergen, Rudy Vallee and Ellen Corby. Year: 1948"
