7/10
A tender tale, well told.

I remember how touched I was when I first saw this film the year it came out, by the fine performances of everyone in the cast, and the lovely relationship that existed between the husband and wife. Pat Hingle was in unusually fine form in a supporting role, but it was really Robert Preston's film, whose performance as the husband that truly shined. The scene in the back yard, where the couple are sitting on the grass and quietly talking underneath the stars is memorable, as was Preston's attempt to show his fitness by lifting a man off his feet in order to get work. Highly recommended family entertainment on a topic that touches everyone at some point in life. An excellent film.
