'Sight and Sound' 1/12
The recent "Sight and Sound" had an interesting article about the film, the covered much the same area as an old post I once placed here, but is now gone (after attracting some bile). It speaks about how the film suggests, along with the wonderful nostalgia, real anger and fear concerning the future in 1944. The father's decision to stay in St. Louis doesn't totally cover up the cracks that were beginning to appear in the Ideal Family.
This complexity is one of the reasons why I love the films so much more than if it were simply a technicolor nostalgia piece.
