Tremendous emotional impact, stellar performance by Wyman

I was a very impressionable young girl when I saw this movie...not on tv, but at the local theater. I remember running out of tissues, I cried so much. An elderly couple seated next to me passed me more tissues and reassured me that it was "only a movie". I have never forgotten this film, and I have yet to see it on tv. Jane Wyman should have had the Oscar that year.

My all-time favorite "two-hanky" movie

Long before I saw my first TV (in the hardware store window on Main Street), Family Night at the drive-in theater was a huge treat. If the movie happened to be a "tear-jerker" - so much the better! I only saw "The Blue Veil" one time (almost 50 years ago) but I still rate it as my all-time favorite two-hanky movie (followed closely by "Imitation of Life"). I have looked for it on video but have not found it..... I wonder if it is as good as my memory of it... I'd bet "YES!".

'50s Melodrama with class

This is a 1950s melodrama which tells, in episodic fashion, the story of the adult lifetime of Louise Mason (Jane Wyman, yes, the first Mrs. Ronald Reagan). Louise dedicates her life to being a nanny, i.e. raising other people's children. Wyman gives a very sympathetic, understated performance, and received an Academy Award nomination for it. She's surrounded by familiar character actors, some relatively understated (Charles Laughton)and some over the top (Cyril Cusack). Also look for Agnes Moorehead, Vivian Vance (better known as Lucy's landlord, Ethel Mertz) and Joan Blondell (Academy Award nomination for best supporting actress). Without giving away the story, I would compare the film's emotions to a nanny version of Goodbye, Mr. Chips. This film is not available on video, and is very hard to find, but's it's definitely worth a look if you do.

Another great (and unavailable) 50's film

As another reviewer noted, "The Blue Veil" is apparently entangled in rights litigation, which would certainly explain why this wonderful movie is never shown on TV nowadays; nor, sadly, is it available for release on video. Over the years I have noticed that a number of the great Jane Wyman's 1950's movies seem to have fallen off the radar screen. "Magnificent Obsession" and "All That Heaven Allows" seem to be the only titles that have been released to video or warrant reasonably frequent TV airings. While these two Douglas Sirk titles are undeniably fine, what about the others? I clearly remember seeing such Wyman films as "The Blue Veil", "So Big" and "Lucy Gallant" on TV in the 1960's and very early 1970's. Since that point, many of these 1950's and early '60's movies have disappeared into oblivion (at least in my immediate TV viewing area). As there does not appear to be any hurry to release these great films on video, I can only lament the loss.

One of the finest "lost films."

There are several truly excellent movies that have apparently vanished from general distribution. THE BLUE VEIL sadly lies in a vault somewhere, for some unknown reason. My guess: some copyright dispute, be it literary or musical. Please, someone, "PAY THE TWO DOLLARS!"

As Louise, a governess, Jane Wyman gives a performance that is easily the equal of JOHNNY BELINDA. In two scenes alone, Miss Wyman could, and does, wring tears from a stone. She is supported by a fine cast which includes Joan Blondell, Charles Laughton and Natalie Wood. Performances which are of this caliber should not be allowed to disappear, unknown and unappreciated.

This was an RKO release, which spells TED TURNER. Why don't we bring pressure to bear where it counts? THE BLUE VEIL deserves to be seen.

Was Jane Wyman's favorite role.

Citations
Louise Mason: Mrs Rawlins, I, I would like to leave if, if you could find someone to replace me.
Annie Rawlins: What's that,Louise? Why?
Louise Mason: Well, I've been meaning to say something to you about it for some time but I find it difficult.
Annie Rawlins: Well, don't you like it here? Don't you like Stephanie?
Louise Mason: Why I'd rather not go into that.
Annie Rawlins: I insist you tell me.
Louise Mason: Well, I've been on the verge of leaving before, but each time you get a new job and I postpone doing anything about it. And each time it would get worse.
Annie Rawlins: I don't understand. I thought you were happy with Stephanie and me. I thought you loved us.
Louise Mason: I do. And believe me, it's because I do that I have to leave.
Annie Rawlins: Well then. That just doesn't make sense.
Louise Mason: Well, let me put it this way; I know that you don't mean to, but you see so little of Stephanie and she's been turning to me more and more. Now, she's turned completely.
Annie Rawlins: wha' that's silly. No one can take the place of a mother in a child's life.
Louise Mason: In church this morning, Mrs Rawlins, she singled me out as her mother in front of her friends.
Annie Rawlins: She did that? It's just a gesture, Louise.
Louise Mason: No, it's more than that. I find it hard to be frank about it or to do myself out of a good job but unless I leave, you may lose your daughter, Mrs Rawlins and that would be the worst mistake you've ever made.
Annie Rawlins: It's good of you to tell me, Louise.
