Dear Heart (VHS)

DEAR HEART IS ONE OF THOSE MOVIES THAT IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF A MOVIE THAT CAN HAVE A STRONG STORY LINE WITHOUT PROFANITY, SEX AND OR VIOLANCE TO GET PEOPLES ATTENTION. IT RELIES OF THE STRONG ACTING SKILLS OF ITS STARS, LEADING AND SUPPORT. ADD TO IT THE GREAT SONG OF THE SAME TITLE WRITTEN BY A GREAT SONG WRITTER AND THERE YOU HAVE IT, A MOVIE MADE THE WAY A MOVIE AGAIN SHOULD BE MADE. NOW WE HAVE IN OUR MOVIE COLLECTION ON VHS A GREAT COPY OF IT IN OUR HOME. NOW IF THEY WOULD ONLY MAKE IN THE DVD FORMAT, THAT I WOULD BUY IN A SECOND. THE SAD THING ABOUT IT IS IF IT WERE MADE TODAY, IT WOULD FAIL. SEX AND PROFANITY, SAD TO SAY HAVE TAKEN OVER AND IT IS DOWN RIGHT HARD FOR A QUALITY FATHER AND MOTHER TO FIND A MOVIE THEY CAN TAKE THEIR KIDS TO. I SHOWED IT TO OUR GRANDKIDS AND THEY LOVED IT. ONE SAID OF GLENN FORD, "HE IS A NEAT GUY GRANDPA."YES INDEED, HE IS I SAID BACK ADDING, IT IS TOO A NEAT MOVIE.

I bought this VHS because the movie has been a favorite of mine for years and it is not available on DVD yet. It is a tender love story about an older couple who happen to meet in a hotel. She is there for a postmasters convention, and he sells greeting cards. He is engaged to another woman, has a fling with another, and then meets and falls for another. Glen Ford is great, as is Geraldine Page.

I bought this video because I admire Geraldine Page so much. After viewing the film I haven't changed my mind one bit.
