Ein Mädchen, ein Muli und Omas Whisky

I have to echo the statements of *almost* everybody else. This movie will STICK WITH YOU. It's VERY haunting but I have to wonder... do I really want to feel haunted?? It's not pleasant! Seriously, it was a weird movie. So weird it drew me here to the internet almost 30 yrs later to look it up cause it was WEIRD and scary. I remember being COMPLETELY tormented by my wanting to watch it but being repulsed by the depressing aspects.

The bird scene is devastating. I don't really remember much of anything else in the movie but I know there were some happier parts. While I do have a "thing" for having my children experience some of my own childhood memories I've Disneyland, etc.. I don't know if reliving A Girl Named Sooner is something I want to burden them with! Just like I was torn when I watched it so many years ago, I'm torn now wondering if I should share it with somebody else!

hi my father was in A Girl Named Sooner and his copy of the movie was ruined it would be a great help if you could tell me where i would be able to obtain a copy for him it would be a great help for him and me i have looked every where i have called all the places that sale movies and none of them have heard of the movie let alone have it in stock and the only place that i know of that could order old movies just went out of business so it would be greatly appreciated if anyone knows where i can get this movie cause i have never seen the movie and would love to see my father when he was younger and to see the movie and people he thinks so highly of so if any one could tell me where i could get a copy it would be greatly appreciated

thanks for your time Jenni

Hi. I saw this when I was around 8 years old ,and it has always stuck with me. I love touching movies. I just wanted to let anyone interested in purchasing it. I just purchased a copy at only classic movies dot com for $23.95. Cloris Leachman was wonderful and Lee Remick ,and Richard Crenna are wonderful actors too. Cloris just really stood out to me when I was that age. This movie just made me cry. Something that is a rarity in movies this day and time. Susan Deer was just a little doll,and I still remember those sad haunted eyes. I have often wondered what happened to her. I know Lee and Richard are dead now. Just a wonderful movie for anyone wanting their heartstrings pulled. I can't wait until my copy arrives. Please let me know if you get yours.

Funny, how like the other reviewers, I still remembered this movie and have a great desire to see it again. After seeing this movie when I was only about 10, my mom said that I told her I wanted to adopt. Now, I don't remember saying that, but I do think it was funny that, not remembering that being said, I grew up to adopt a sib group of 3. I guess that says how much a movie can seriously affect a life, or many lives. I have been looking off and on on the web to see if I could find the movie to purchase and I have finally found a place. Not knowing the company, I know I am taking a chance on ordering it, but to me it is worth the chance.

Despite having been about four at the time I saw this movie, I still remember it. Set around the depression, it involves Sooner, a neglected child raised by a backwards, crazy old woman. Sooner is given to a couple to raise, and the drama comes from seeing this formerly isolated and ignorant little girl learn about love and family. Chloris Leachman deserved an Emmy as her portrayal of the wagon-driving, wily old woman--I can still remember her screeching at the people who want to take Sooner from her. The movie has a sort-of WALTONS feel to it, and that's not a bad thing at all. Too bad somebody hasn't released this on video; I think many people would love it.
