Featured review
Tear-jerking family drama from first time director Allen Reisner
Based on the true story of the Eunsons, a family of Scottish immigrant pioneers who settled in Wisconsin in the 1850s, this tear- jerking family drama was directed by Allen Reisner (his first such effort) from the screenplay by Dale Eunson and his wife Katherine Albert Eunson.
Glynis Johns and Cameron Mitchell play the couple from Scotland that finds their way to Wisconsin only to discover that her uncle recently died when his homestead burned to the ground. With help from the community, the Eunsons rebuild and, while he works in the logging industry for Tom Cullen (Alan Hale Jr.), she has six children (three boys, then three girls). But while the children are still very young, their father dies from diphtheria and then their mother dies from typhoid.
The oldest, 12-year-old Robbie (Rex Thompson), must then fulfill a promise he made to his mother on her deathbed: to find homes for each of his siblings (including Patty McCormack, just one year after she'd received her Supporting Actress Academy Award nomination as The Bad Seed (1956)) on Christmas day. Ernest Truex, Hope Emerson, Sylvia Field, Royal Dano and Ellen Corby are among those who play adult roles. Filmed in Technicolor.
