Release in 1941, this movie stars Cary Grant and Irene Dunne as a married couple. They had different ideas about how they wanted to live their life, they ended falling for each other despite what they thought what they originally wanted. When they find out that they are expecting tragedy strikes in more ways than one. Not only did they loose their baby they also lost the ability to have more on their own. When they decide to adopt a baby they learn it wasn't want they wanted but just what they needed. However, they learn that life is still full of surprises.
So, the order that I have chosen to watch these movies in is basically the order they are in on my shelf. So, I didn't realize that I was going to get to this movie as soon as I did. The reason I wanted to hold off on this movie is because it is a really sad movie. It's hard to watch them go through the stresses of life, and the utter tragedies. Yet, it's so full of love and hope as well. I forgot how much of that was in the movie. When I see movies for the first time I really remember the big moments, good and bad, the finer details come later on a repeat viewing. This is one that needed a repeat viewing to see how much love was put into the film.
I think that it was also a good film to watch and mull over for a few days. This is the second time that I have seen this movie and right after the first time I watched it I was mad at it. Over time it became one that I remembered fondly. Not one that I wanted to watch every day, but one that I would recommend to others. Even now thinking about this movie I see it in a different light. Yes, it's sad and hard to watch, but it really does show how resilient we are as humans. To go through all of the hardships that life throws at us and it still comes out in a beautiful way.
