Featured review
Sad, pathetic, and wonderful
I have seen this movie a few times, and it just grows on you. Gleason shows how powerful a performance one can do without uttering one word.
Many have described this film well. It is a great performance by Gleason, and yes the little girl isn't the cutest, but she wasn't meant to be. It makes his love for her and the mother all the more powerful. The SADDEST part of this film is that it has never been released on Video or DVD yet. Perhaps someday Hollywood will catch up with the people's hearts.
