Valutazione di hope-21
ONE FOOT IN HEAVEN is a wonderful story of what it takes to not only endure the difficulties in being a minister; but how these problems build character.
Year after year of allowing church bosses and bullies to dictate what will and won't be allowed, the minister finally learns how to beat them at their own game.
It has so many touches of warmth, in which a subliminal message of truth is going on coupled with hints of blackmail and leverage.
When Dr. Spence refuses to name his own son Wm. Spence, Jr. because he says, "Junior is a sissy name and I won't have my son being a sissy!" his wife decides to coerce him by holding back on the cooking of dinner until he gives in to her wishes. Thinking she's won, he says he'll name the baby in church next Sunday. As he asks for the name and she announces to the congregation, "William Spence, Junior," he repeats it as "William Frasier Spence" ("named after my grand old Scottish Uncle Frasier--and I don't mean the one who was hanged as a horse thief!")
It is this war of wills that carries the story; making each episode build to the next one. Tempered with touches of right and wrong, it is a classic! A must see! Good conflict, good story line.

REMEMBER WHEN is a wonderful surprise.
It is the story of a family during WW2, placed somewhere in the U.S. It tells of their trials and sorrows during this time and how they get through tough situations with humor and love.
Having its powerful punches like the episode involving the younger brother who not having much money to spend for his mother's birthday innocently decides to send her a singing telegram.
In a time when telegrams come with death notices, this potentially horrifying experience turns humorous when the telegraph operator takes out his pitchpipe and begins singing.
The need to save and scrimp along with rationing becomes a serio-comedic situation when the uncle and his brother in driving to work at a speed of 15 mph leave the back door open for picking up passengers. Thus requiring the rider to run along side the car and jump in.
Inviting soldiers in for dinner the meatloaf dinner turns out to be mostly corn flakes, leftovers in the fridge and only the tiniest bit of meat.
All in all it is great fun and delightful viewing.
