Virginia Wright Illustrated Daily News (Los Angeles) 07/13/2021
The picture introduces an uncommonly appealing child actress named Connie Marshall, whose performance you may appreciate if you can separate it from the moist sentimentality of the theme. Go to Full Review Jack Moffitt Esquire Magazine 10/07/2020
The tear jerker Walter Morosco has produced for Fox is a bath of bathos. It stars Maureen O'Hara -- though it is unfair to blame her for what happened, since she neither wrote, directed nor acted in the picture. Go to Full Review Elena de la Torre Cine-Mundial 09/09/2019

Yvonne M Oct 31 Lovely old movie, love Maureen o hara See more 09/12/2020 A sadistic affair. Bad enough they put a child through this. Then they subjected an audience to it. See more 01/15/2019 One of best performances. Maureen said that the role of Julie Beck was one of the few roles she was very proud of. See more 04/23/2015 good weepie melodrama See more 07/02/2014 Sugary goo with a rather stupid lead female character, a selfish unsympathetic male one and an annoying child actress. Mawkish and melodramatic. See more 09/13/2008 Sentimental Journey is sweet and touching movie about love, death , adoption and loyalty. I enjoyed this and recommend it. See more Read all reviews
