This 1948 movie, an adaptation of a Broadway play that itself was adapted from a novel, is like a Norwegian turn-of-the-century version of The Wonder Years: an adult narrator, looking back fondly on the formative years of childhood. Irene Dunne and Barbara Bel Geddes (who later played Miss Ellie on the original Dallas) star – and this film inspired TV’s first spinoff from a movie, 1949’s popular Mama, starring Peggy Wood.
