If you don't cry at the end of this movie, you are a block of cement. I saw this movie in 1988 and I still tear up when I think about it. Simply a masterpiece.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tissues needed, November 5, 2008

For anyone who has even the slightest glimmer of compassion, a unique and gifted portrayal by Mark Harman of Elmer one man who against all the odds stacked against him, eventualy after many years re-unites the family he lost.
The viewer is taken back to 1920s America and the bakward attitudes of the establishment who do not stop to consider each case before them.

Based on a true story you are taken on the journey of a loving father and his four sons through the worst nightmare that could be imposed on them.

This film is worth watching again and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Truly Touching Story..., February 18, 2008

By 

AndyMan (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: After the Promise (Accessory)

This movie is one of the most heart-touching films I have ever seen (based on a true story). Mark Harmon (who plays the father) goes to extreme lengths to get his boys back when an obvious "screwed-up" child services system had them taken away after the death of their mom. What the boys endure after being placed in the "system" is nothing short of cruelty. One word of caution - make sure you have plenty of tissues handy. The water-works will flow for sure!
