I Remember Mama
-- Engaging, warm-hearted version of the John Van Druten play in which a daughter (Barbara Bel Geddes) recalls the nurturing influence of her mother (Irene Dunne) on her Norwegian-American brood in San Francisco circa 1910. Produced and directed by George Stevens, the interplay of family life is richly depicted through good times and bad, convincingly portrayed by a cast including Oscar Homolka as the family patriarch, Ellen Corby as the spinster aunt and Edgar Bergan as her mousey beau). Sincere, affecting and universal in theme and appeal. (A-I) (br)
