I love when I randomly stumble upon a channel that uploads countless free movies. This is what makes RUclips great. Thank you Retro Film Vault for the invaluable entertainment. ❤
The best part of the movie, was when one of the son's spoke so highly of his mother. Its tough raising children with no father, I know. God be with all the mom's out there, you deserve honor and respect. For those that don't get it or have it, God knows and thats enough.
It was hard raising my son without his dad hes grown now my caregiver as Im disabled but not having a father of course Father God;but without his dad he told me how he wanted him to do things but he never had time;it was my children and me
There is nothing 'wonderful' about a society that punishes fathers with psychological problems - especially fathers caught in the corrupt capitalist world.
This movie made me cry 😢 when the son spoke up in court towards the end . Telling his father why did he leave. And said what a wonderful mother he and his brother have 😢😢😢😢
I've been in love with Margaret Colin ever since she played Margo Hughes on "As The World Turns." I first saw this movie back in 2016 and have been watching it off and on. Each time I see it I see something I missed previously. This is a very very good movie. Thank you for sharing this gem with us!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL!!!
The acting was great! The sons did a great job - both as kids and as adults. They brought out all the emotions that the mother was trying to keep under wraps and maintain a brave face for her children's sake.
A very good example of a good mother. She never poisoned her two boys mind. Or use her boys to take revenge on her husband. Like other people do. No shouting, no swearing or no revenge. This woman showed the Quality of high value woman. ❤❤❤❤. Bravo. This young men were well brought and cared.
Sounds like my ex husband When my son was about 5 he filed for divorce . Threw us out of the house.. Was abusive to both. My son has not seen his dad in over 15 years . His dad knows where his son is He is the same as this man. Doesn't care . I have taken care of my son for 19 years..
I knew Jay Sanders in NYC when I was an actress. He did Buried Child Off-Broadway and we crossed paths at auditions. He's such a great actor. All the acting in this was so well done and subtly played...the story tragic, but triumphing over trauma and tragedy is inspiring. Many of us who experienced trauma need it. Great job, Jay! Lori (Putnam) Lamb
she was wrong though not telling them about their Dad..plus saying his name when she called him..Then going their to his hometown on her own. Stupid woman.
He'd be about 76 years old now. His oldest son 52, I think. Having this case begin in/around 1998 certainly helped them stay under the radar all this time.
Truly traumatizing. This man is a coward. Thankfully they had a strong mother to love them & allow them to become good men. I have a few choice words for him. Narcissistic… I’m sure everyone can fill in the blanks.
I watch this movie about every 3 years, and the son's speech to the father in the courtroom brings me to tears every damn time. It is one of the best scenes in television movie history.
Excellent movie! No cussing. No nudity. No blood and gore. The question is not why? The question is how? That is powerful! We can convince ourselves of the why we do certain things, to appease our own conscience. But when we ask how can we do such things, that requires examination of the motives behind the actions. How can a man walk away from the ones he proclaims to love, and pretend they no longer exists?
In my opinion the greatest take-away for us all is to understand "Charm is not a character trait but a tool used by a person to gain control over another(s)"- Dr Keith Ablow, noted psychiatrist. I grew up watching this in my own family. The fun they bring always has a great big STING!
I think all she wanted was first closure. Second, to be released from that debt due to his so-called death. She probably could care less about how much time he spent in jail. She’s free.
ABSOLUTELY 🇮🇪 💯 BRILLIANT THANKS. AS I WATCHED 👀 THIS MOVIE 🎬 🎞 🎥, AND SEEN THE YOUNG SON WHEN HE GOT OLDER ,MY HEAD WAS WRECKED, I KNEW HIM AND ABOUT TEN MINUTES FROM THE END ,I REMEMBERED, BLUE BLOODS. GOD BLESS ALL 🙌 🙏 ❤️.
He wasn't sorry at all. He was sorry he got caught. Hes a Coward.. His wife is Beautiful! His sons were such good people kind & Loving all because of their Mother.
What a joke that sentence was, 8 months and he is out to do what ever he wants. He should have served ten years at list, one for each one he didn't care for his children and wife
Grateful this was shared in a movie (happens more than we can imagine). If they were daughters, would have been a different outcome. Sons dont take NONSENSE (censored for youtube) from fathers. Glad 1 of the sons spoke & lit him up. (How much PAIN can you cause your children ??? Why cause any ?)
Yes one son told their father what he thought of him and the other son honoured their mother. A great combination and that may have been very healing for them and their wonderful mother. Definitely a psychopath. I wonder if his girlfriend knew about his other family or did he lie to her as well.
People pretending to be dead happens a lot? That's really interesting. And in what world would daughters be okay with this? I'm sorry i'm triggered with the other part of the statement, this is such a misogynistic comment.
@@themalawiandiner180the commenter is saying sons are very protective over there moms. They usually have no problem standing up to dad to protect mom. Boys are more clingy to moms.
What a testament to a strong woman who as her son said was the “ best mother & father” he & his brother could have had. She was such a strong, loving mother & role model that her sons recognized the contrast between their parents & quickly saw their father for the unconscionable fraud that he was in so many ways … & they were able to go forward in life never again missing their father’s absence.
Made me cry .remembered how my ex left me pregnant and married someone else after I has got him a higher paying job.its been now 6years that man has no heart to even know how our son is.
Movie was great amazing sons & their mother dealt with so much the years then had to find the truth & then go to court .The son who spoke to judge broke my heart & seeing his brother & mom crying was so touching.very awesome mom and sons.
Thank you very for this movie. THE actress so fabulous, she is acting superb and on a top of that she looks, like another divine actress Natalie Wood. ❤❤❤❤❤

Us single moms have to be the mom and dad It is especially hard when the mom has to raise a son alone. I am not equipped to teach him how to be a man.

Such a sweet comment. Thank you. God bless you
Amen. Remember, we all have our true father in heaven. Jesus cares for us.
I feel for their mum,I know how hard to raise children and as my experience it’s really tough.esp having narc partner/husband.😢
What a great mom…. she speaks to her children with respect …. it shows in their actions and communication ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for posting this movie! So nice to watch an older movie with good quality!
Just what I was thinking when the movie started 👍🇦🇺
Yes. Good clear picture and sound
A film from 23 years ago is “older?” How would you describe one from the 1930s?
@@infectdiseaseepidemiology2599old, older, oldest 😊 take your pick
A wonderful true story without violence and bloodshed.
True story of something NOT WONDERFUL
I wouldn't call it wonderful but it was a good movie for sure.
And no sex.
There is nothing 'wonderful' about a society that punishes fathers with psychological problems - especially fathers caught in the corrupt capitalist world.
It was wonderful movie 🎬 no violence, no killing people, and no sex 👍🤟❤
Totally enjoyed this movie. The two young men who play the grown sons really nailed their parts. Most talented. Good work all involved.
Yes, I like the fatter one :)
So did the children actors
I have a huge Michael Cera crush. Interesting to see him here as a child.
This movie made me cry 😢 when the son spoke up in court towards the end . Telling his father why did he leave. And said what a wonderful mother he and his brother have 😢😢😢😢
I was crying when they had to give up Sadie😭
@@sweetipie1995me to that was the saddest part for me watching that beautiful dog.
Me too 😢
@@sweetipie1995 Yes, it was heart breaking that the poor dog was given away. I'd have never forgiven that!! 😥💙

Very sad true story too . Nice ending . Don’t understand how a father and husband can abandon his beautiful family .
Manipulator
He's a coward.
Definitely a sociopath.
Males do it all the time. Most married mothers are single parents.
One doesn't have to leave the home to abandon his responsibilities.
No cowards will inherit the kingdom of God
The acting was great! The sons did a great job - both as kids and as adults. They brought out all the emotions that the mother was trying to keep under wraps and maintain a brave face for her children's sake.
Michael Cera has gone on to be very well known in his own right. Nice to look back at him as a kid!
@@jenna-a-gogodo you know the name of actor who played other son( adult one)?
@nelaneca976 Unfortunately no.
Michael Cera as young Ted Welsh and Erik Knudsen as Cris Welsh.
Beautiful family.... Two wonderful son's and a good mother.
She reminds me so much of Katie Holmes. It's a wonderful movie indeed ❤
It's true she's like her twin
Very much so
I think she's more beautiful than Katie Holmes
Yes, she does⚘️
@chriswitt2596 she has a glow that Katie Holmes doesn't have.

Protect your sons. ❤
This story is too common sadly. Ditto but I was pregnant with my 2nd son at the time & no support from family. They were abusive too
Yeah selfish narcissists..they will always blame you for whatever dosent go right in their life..ur never even be their equal let alone win.
On the other hand many of us men haven’t seen our son since 5 because mother filled their head with bullshit after separating and moving away 😊from

You are so right Lori. I always love his acting. Your career must’ve been so exciting. All the best.
Omg ..Wow❤
The way you convey yourself so warmly, I wish that you were still an actress.
What lovely young men they turned out to be credit to their mum .

@@Ace-ke7fq🙄
@@Ace-ke7fq🙄😮 Your comment is absurd.
Excellent! Great Mom and boys/young men!!😍😍
There are lessons to learn from this movie. Anyway this one's good, worth the watch.
He'd be about 76 years old now. His oldest son 52, I think. Having this case begin in/around 1998 certainly helped them stay under the radar all this time.
This movie is based on a true story .Based on greed and emblazzment charges. Fake death. It is a life lesson
Reminds me of the movie Double Jeopardy. "
Very under rated movie. Great watch.
He is a sociopath and narsacistic only thinking of himself. Great movie, kept my interest.
Just like 95% of all men. Selfish and self centered. Sad for women....
What a great mom n proud sons they are beautiful ❤
Truly traumatizing. This man is a coward. Thankfully they had a strong mother to love them & allow them to become good men. I have a few choice words for him. Narcissistic… I’m sure everyone can fill in the blanks.
I love the way he spoke of his mum in a lovingly way what a sad way of life ❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful!! I enjoyed watching immensely. Thank you for sharing, much appreciated❤️
Lovely movie ..love the obedient n understanding sons. God bless
Used to watch As the World Turns with my mom. Brings back many fond memories🥰
This kids are amazing putting tabs on things subconsciously ☺️
How can a mother love ❤️ cease towards the child she bears . Such an amazing mom 🧑.
A spectacular movie of betrayal and dignified retribution. So grateful RUclips posted their great performances before Christmas 2024!
8 months, a real mockery of his crimes nevermind the heartache his family suffered🤮
Yes, those poor kids, thinking they were unwanted,shameful 🥺
10 years he should have gotten
No remorse if she had not found him he would have continued life without them 😢
I can't believe a grown man would do this to his family, jerk. I'm glad she pursued and closed the book.
I really felt for the two young men’s. The first time they saw their dad and the way the contained themselves. ❤❤very mature and respectful.
I watch this movie about every 3 years, and the son's speech to the father in the courtroom brings me to tears every damn time. It is one of the best scenes in television movie history.
Excellent movie. I've been a fan of Margaret Colin's for many years.
I saw this years ago, love this movie!! ❤
This Movie, was Awesome, and a True Story too, seen it before. quite a few yrs back. You will enjoy and sad too, but well worth it
Am so glad he was caught
What a beautiful movie. Brought tears to my eyes but I love it❤
Very welcoming message with Gratitude Light and Loving Blessings Thank you 🙏🌟💖🌟💖🌟
Excellent movie! No cussing. No nudity. No blood and gore.
The question is not why? The question is how? That is powerful! We can convince ourselves of the why we do certain things, to appease our own conscience.
But when we ask how can we do such things, that requires examination of the motives behind the actions.
How can a man walk away from the ones he proclaims to love, and pretend they no longer exists?
A good family film, no melodrama but a good and rightful ending.❤
what a strong woman.
Had a very weak and cowardly husband
In my opinion the greatest take-away for us all is to understand "Charm is not a character trait but a tool used by a person to gain control over another(s)"- Dr Keith Ablow, noted psychiatrist.

Excellent movie - LIFE IS VERY FRAGILE - so many more people should realise this
Watched this just to see Michael Cera. Omg so cute even when he was little!
Appreciated this movie. Loved the Mom & sons and their close relationship. And how well she raised them, regardless of what they all went through. 🥲🩷
Great mother and wonderful sons. Thanks
Wonderful movie the mom was so lovely and well balanced…. SHE DESERVES A MEDAL 🥇 💯🐦🔥
This film is done well, I cried because of all that husband and father lost!
Thanks for sharing this beautiful movie.... A wonderful mother indeed ❤❤❤
Wow! Eight months only. That is no justice for a pure criminal. 😮
Exactly. With laws like this we live in a world where crime is encouraged.
Hopefully, he got a job and paid off the debt. We shall never know
I think all she wanted was first closure. Second, to be released from that debt due to his so-called death. She probably could care less about how much time he spent in jail. She’s free.
Esp after the effort to find him. She was truly blindsided by what her husband did.
I'm sure the real payment was an eternity of regrets, debt to pay, no family to stand by him etc.
Poor decision making is common in most men who can't handle pressure.
SELFISH decision making. Xx
ABSOLUTELY 🇮🇪 💯 BRILLIANT THANKS. AS I WATCHED 👀 THIS MOVIE 🎬 🎞 🎥, AND SEEN THE YOUNG SON WHEN HE GOT OLDER ,MY HEAD WAS WRECKED, I KNEW HIM AND ABOUT TEN MINUTES FROM THE END ,I REMEMBERED, BLUE BLOODS. GOD BLESS ALL 🙌 🙏 ❤️.
What an amazeing mother to her to sons ❤
He wasn't sorry at all. He was sorry he got caught. Hes a Coward.. His wife is Beautiful! His sons were such good people kind & Loving all because of their Mother.
That is terrible. The dog loves them. Can’t they leave the dog with her mother an animal was so loyal to his owner.
A good paying job can get you pass the worst and to live a better life. Thank you!!!❤
LIAR, LIAR - THIS MAN IS A NARCISIST OF THE HIGHEST ORDER
Wonderful, wonderful movie thank you truly enjoyed it. I would watch it again. Thanks again.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What ?????? He only served 8 months !!!!!! That's terrible no wonder murderers and rapists get light sentences 🤬🤬🤬🤬
This is a financial fraud case and the amount isn't that big. It's theft. Many thieves don't even go to jail.
At least this gave him a better chance to pay his debts.
How is what he did & the sentence he served in any way relevant to the sentences “ murderers & rapists get?”
What a joke that sentence was, 8 months and he is out to do what ever he wants. He should have served ten years at list, one for each one he didn't care for his children and wife
Beautiful heart-breaking story.

Excellent movie. But the sentence was to light for this thoughtless coward.
A really good movie.
Made me cry .remembered how my ex left me pregnant and married someone else after I has got him a higher paying job.its been now 6years that man has no heart to even know how our son is.
I’m so sorry! I was divorced years ago, and God helped me through it all! He wants to be there for you too!!!

After her husband’s embezzlement she should be in charge of ALL FINANCES OR DIVORCE THE THIEF!!
Margaret Colin is a really good actress. She is so calm and cool. She also was in the movie called Independence Day
Good movie. Saw it years ago.
Your channel is very good I love it. Please add close captions to your movies
Selfish man........
What a heartwarming film.
