    I almost didn't watch this film but continued with it out of curiosity. I'm glad i did as it was a very honest depiction of a single mother's/young widow's life and how in the end things came right with a bit of faith in herself. A good old film, thank you for sharing.

Amazing start to the storyline right there, and then the story went in a direction I didn't know was possible in 1946! It's how she changes her life that makes it great.

    I looked up who the story was by, which I always do, and I see it it was written by Adela Rogers St. Johns. What a career she had as a writer and journalist. I'm amazed at how many women writers there were, actually, for the times. Her father was Earl Rogers, the famous criminal attorney, who was the inspiration for Erle Stanley Gardner's, "Perry Mason". One thing leads to another. Amazing. This is exciting Friday night stuff! :)

      @@cathyfield4765 if only the current generation wore vintage clothing! To me, it's all about taking care to groom oneself, wear clothes that fit nicely on the body, wear colors other than black, grey, white, red and blue, and wonderful, creative stiches and fun patterns. You don't see that now! It's so bland. It's all about men wearing shorts and flip flops and women wearing leggings made of thin stretchy material with their big butts out of proportion to their legs, and not combing, or styling one's hair and wearing sneakers. This is what I dislike. I find that dressing nicely makes one feel better and behave better. Today's clothes have spandex in them, they are cheaply made and are really loose fitting. The clothes don't flatter people. The designs are boring. I definitely get my inspiration from the past, not just because of the nostalgia of it. I don't buy any ready-to-wear clothes anymore. On an aside, I love hats AND the gloves; beautiful kid leather gloves.

    Lead actress performance among the finest anywhere. From naive innocent to fallow jaded woman and then to genuine inner peace. Incredible work!
    And the early scene where the young innocent girl lets go of the flower and it falls down several flights was so gorgeous to me. It was not only incredibly cinematic but made the perfect metaphor for her innocence being lost in such a poetic way. One of my favorite shots in history.

      yes, it was easier to tell the difference between the sexes. Men wore short hair- anyone with long hair were ridiculed and beaten.

There were gay people then too, only same thing here- ridicule, ostracisation, beatings, and death if they did not conform.

    June Duprez was great as the uncaring mother. Great scene locations from a 1947 San Francisco, much more beautiful than is the case today with all the violence, homelessness and drug problems.
    Mona Freeman was also a noted artist. One of her paintings still seen today is that of Mrs. See on See's Candy Boxes. A larger print of the painting is generally on display in every See's Candy Store. She dated Bing Crosby for a while, but the relationship didn't come to much. This story was written by the noted Adela Rogers St. Johns. Overall a very good cast with an interesting story that could have only been written just after World War II.

    Thank you PizzaFlix. I love the black and white classics: the entertaining storylines, the outstanding actors, the atmospheric realism conveyed through the depiction of the fashions of the day, the motor cars, the street scenes, the restaurants, the houses …everything.
    Now if there’s one thing I cannot stand, it’s that bloody awful, obnoxious in-your-face music that spoils an excellent piece of work. It’s a pattern that recurs through most of these film classics. Why did they do it? Was it meant to heighten the intensity of the drama? Or was it what the audiences of the time wanted? Perhaps so, but did it have to be so excruciatingly loud and noisy! Most of the time, I have to keep a firm hand on the volume control to mute it when the music bursts in out of nowhere … or increase it to follow the dialogue. There are so many of these fine films, spoilt through the loud and excessive music.
    Well then, I guess one can't have it all. All things considered, I still love these films and shall continue watching them for many a day.

    I just want to thank you, in general! I had to give up TCM because I no longer have cable, can't afford it.! I love classic movies of all kinds and you have a variety. I especially like Film Noir. Some people curl up with a book and a hot cup of tea. There is nothing more comforting to me, than the classics I use to watch with my mom and dad as a kid. I noticed you have TV series, too. I will have to check them out, too. Many blessings..😊

    MAY CONTAIN SPOILER: PLOT
    On Mother's Day, 1946, a woman known as Ziggy Brennan looks back on her life.
    Eight years earlier, her vain and corrupt mother Natalie asks Ziggy to pretend they are sisters. Together they trick men out of money. Ziggy takes a liking to a con artist, Denny Reagan, and steals a soldier's watch that Denny admires.
    The watch's inscription gives Denny a guilty conscience, so Ziggy gives it back to Mart Neilson, the soldier. He asks her on a date, which leads to marriage and imminent motherhood. Mart, however, is killed in the war.
    Ziggy is warned by Natalie after the birth of baby Martha that she is not fit for motherhood. Denny is now doing time in a penitentiary, so he is no help, either. Ziggy likes to go out every night, leaving Martha with an irresponsible young babysitter. Martha nearly dies from an accident.
    A landlady's testimony results in the baby being sent to an orphanage.
    Ziggy attacks the landlady, complicating her life more.
    By the time Denny leaves prison, he is a reformed man. He tracks down Ziggy and finds that she has taken in an abandoned child, caring for it. Together, they appeal to a court for a second chance, then leave together united as a family.

    Funny how he took her out every night and didn't check too much on the babysitter...yet blames the mother totally for going out...well, she was with HIM!!! They could have stayed in with the child and had dinners...tv....also he could have asked her to marry him. Idk just thinking out loud....what a world.
