Good movie, but I honestly don't think it deserved Best Picture of 1955. To me, that honor should have gone to Night of the Hunter. - @Saturday, May 20, 2017 8:37 PM

This would be in my top ten movies it is very simple to understand and watch the writing is very good too, but the acting especially ernest borgnine is out of this world, i felt for him so much yet loved him too simply wonderful. - @Sunday, January 8, 2012 7:16 AM

housedubs

one of my favorite movies of all time! the first time i saw this, my throat almost closed up from crying so hard. the movie touches on a deep longing for love and loneliness---universal feelings that most of us go through or have gone through at one time or another. these roles were really made for borgnine and blair, two average looking actors who had extraordinary gifts to touch the most innate feelings in us! this movie is a gift.... it really is. - @Monday, October 3, 2011 2:55 AM

This film is, in my opinion one of the more Capra-esque of later pictures and one of my favorites. No more of this superficial business! - @Thursday, July 28, 2011 7:32 AM
