3/5

Apesar da adorável presença de Edmund Gwenn, o filme se rende ao sentimentalismo barato na péssima seqüência que se passa em um tribunal, arruinando a experiência.

This is a really fantastic film. I am perplexed at why the ratings are so low.

Predictable and rather slow moving, the movie nevertheless entertained with its good acting and pleasing cinematography.
