From the first time I saw this film I loved it. I researched and found the original story that started it all. Altho apparently there was a TV series of the same name and ideas, I somehow managed to miss it growing up and would love to see this. It was made into a Broadway Play, then this movie, then the TV series and then back to Broadway as a musical. Frankly, it did not last long on Broadway as a musical but I have to wonder why. I manage to have a soundtrack of the music and I think it is totally delightful, singable and wonderful. Does anyone know why it was canned on Broadway? I work as a substitute teacher and encourage the kids to see some of the wonderful movies like "Going My Way." Today when I go to the classroom-- I will tell them to see I Remember Mama. It should be required watching by both children and adults on Mother's Day. Perhaps children would learn what it is like to have little, but to have everything and mothers can learn more what it is like to be mothers.
