5.0 out of 5 stars Ann-Margret shines in this film!, April 6, 2006

This review is from: Who Will Love My Children? [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I remember watching this film when I was in high school and being blown away by Ann-Margret's performance in it. I had only ever seen her as the 'sex kitten' type in her previous films and I was so glad I got to see her in this. This may have been a year prior to her TV performance in 'A Streetcar Named Desire', but I could be wrong. (Another bravo acting job!)
If I remember correctly it was based on a true story of a dying mother who made sure that she found a proper home(s) for all of her kids before she died. The story is so moving and actors were all just wonderful. I would love to see this movie again.
If it isn't available on VHS or DVD it REALLY should be!
p.s. Why isn't there an Ann-Margret box set of films available by now? What a diverse career!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best true tear jerker of all time, March 23, 2009

This review is from: Who Will Love My Children? (DVD)

This movie has to rate as the greatest tear jerker of all time. Sad thing is that is was a true story. Its rare to see a movie where everyone is a victim. Not only do you have a mother who has cancer and is dying but you have to watch her one by one give up her kids before she dies due to the fact that her husband is physically unable to care for them. You admire the tough decision Mrs Fray had to make in the best interest of her kids but it does not ease the pain her husband, and kids had to endure as well.

The other reviews are excellent .. I can't add anything they haven't said.
However! the oldest daughter would go on to become an art teacher in a small town in Iowa. I was one of her pupils.
I have fond memories of Joanne Samsel as my teacher.
I have no idea where she is now, but, I hope life has been good to her.
