Seu Único Pecado

I can't believe I have found someone who has a VHS copy of this film. My father has talked to me about this film all my life. It's his number one favourite and I would love to get him a copy to watch one more time. It's his 80th birthday in December and I've now set myself the mission of getting him a copy by then. If anyone can point me in the right direction (even to borrow) in any format, I'd really appreciate it. Someone in 2001 mentioned buying it from the 'backwoods' in the US - can you give me details? Does anyone know why it hasn't made it onto TV in UK? I love a good old weepy and this sounds like it's up there with the best - WOnderful Life and all that. I saw a similar one about a girl who denies her black African heritage and thus her mother until the mother dies and she weeps over the coffin - buckets. Sadly I can't remember the name of that film, one I'd like to see again so I understand my dad's feelings HELP!

My mum just recently found out the name of this movie after 20 years of first seeing it on late night television. A movie which she has never forgotten and which left her in tears. We thought we would never find it as other users on this site have had such trouble. So we couldn't believe our lucky stars when we finally tracked down the internet site http://www.movielead.com/buynow.html This movie was listed as available so we purchased it and crossed our fingers. Low and behold we received our DVD copy a couple of days ago. Delivery only took 3 weeks from U.S. My mum was absolutely delighted. For any future users or those who have had trouble, this will save you some searching.

I saw this movie when I was a young girl and cried like a baby. What a touching story. It was played on television, since that is where I saw it. I wish I could get a copy. I think Akim Tamiroff in the lead role of the father was excellent and an underrated actor. I might be mistaken but I think this story was first a book, but I don't know who wrote it. I will continue to do some searches on that. I wish AMC or TMC would at least run the movie on television. There was an earlier version of this movie, 1927, but I have not seen that one. the final scene of the movie is unforgettable! A must see.Too bad this film isn't available on DVD.

I, too, saw this movie as a child and cried at the ending. It is the greatest tear-jerker of all time. I think I know where you can find it. A book by Priscella Presley noted that Elvis liked the movie so much, he purchased the rights to it.

It is a shame that no one may ever see it again, and many have never even heard of it. Long ago, I tried to write Ms. Presley about this. But I did not really know how to contact her. I fully believe this movie would be successful if shown again, or perhaps remade. I am glad to hear that someone else knows of it. It is the most powerful movie I've ever seen from the standpoint of making the movie-watcher need a Kleenex.

Does anyone else who has seen it have a comment?

This message in for Sharon Pennock. I also have been searching for this movie for the past few years. Ideally i wanted to get it for my father for his 80th birthday, however, i didn't have much luck! My father told me about this film years ago and said it was one of the best film he has ever seen and such a tearjerker. I, like my father love all the old classics. It's my Dads 82nd birthday this year and i would just love to get the ideal present for him. Can you tell me where exactly you tracked down your copy of the film. I would greatly appreciated if you or anyone else who is reading this comment could assist me in my search. I'm living in Dublin, Ireland. And now after reading all the comments about the film i'm even more determined to get it. Thanks guys!!
