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.

'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.

So memorable!

I just thought of this movie and decided to check out IMDb. How wonderful to see that others had the same memories of this movie as I did. I was a little kid when I saw this movie (we had Million Dollar Movie in Los Angeles, too!), and I remembered crying for hours afterward. Although I haven't seen it since, it still sticks in my mind. Please! Whoever! Get this movie out on DVD!

Interestingly, I don't remember Natalie Wood being in the movie. I was so young when I saw it, she hadn't crossed my radar yet. So, now I do want to see it again just to see her. To me she was one of the best child actors ever -- similar in nature to Christina Ricci's early roles.

But, of course, this is Jane Wyman's movie. In my memory, she was better here than in "So Big" or "Johnny Belinda." Ah, I'm getting misty-eyed right now.

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!".

How much I enjoy old movies and miniseries

Although my home for the past 25 years has been here, I was born and educated in London England. I remember seeing THE BLUE VEIL as a young child and I have never forgotten it. I couldn't stop crying for days, that's how intense Miss Wyman's outstanding performance had a hold on my heart. I have managed to collect quite a good number of old favourite movies and mini-series of mine. Luckily we have the Turner Classic Movies channel on our cable TV, but although there have been many classic movies, "THE BEST" (in my opinion) has not been forthcoming. I buy the weekly TV Guide as soon as it hits the shops hoping for a miracle that I will finally see this BEAUTIFUL movie once again. Being quite a newcomer to the Internet (only 1 month) I haven't yet been able to locate enough old movie stores or companies, so my search for this film has failed till now. However, I won't give up especially after reading other viewers' comments and I hope our letters will finally reach their goal and someone with influence in the right place can see to it that this movie is once again aired.

Was Jane Wyman's favorite role.

भाव
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.
