I love this movie. I saw it when I was a kid and then again many years later. It holds up quite well. The performances are very sincere, and I will never forget Hattie McDaniel, in the kitchen, putting vanilla extract behind her ears for perfume. I also love the muted color photography and the title song. Lois Butler is great, and she has wonderful support from the rest of the cast, especially Irene Hervey. It was also the first film I saw featuring Skip Homeier who continued in movies for many years, mostly in western roles. This 1948 film reminds me of those wonderful days when I would go to the neighborhood theatre for a Saturday matinée and live alongside all the characters on the screen.
