We have owned this film for a number of years now, and though we haven't watched it for awhile, I remember enjoying it and finding it a touching film.
Maureen O'Hara really does a good job of playing older, grumpier (for lack of a better word) women - still feisty in her golden years!
Thanks for highlighting it, Keith. Maybe it will become part of some family's Christmas film-watching traditions as a result of your post!
