"Since You Went Away" (1944)

3 hour movie--had to watch it in two shifts. On the one hand, nothing particularly unique about the movie--except maybe the dog. On the other hand, it was a very nice movie. I watched the first 2 hours last night--up to the intermission screen. In the second shift, (the ending) there was a lot of sniff, sniff, sob, sob sad and happy parts. "Soda" the bulldog was one of my favorite parts, and the music that accompanied his bits helped make the part--the instrumentation of the bits & the timing of them in the story line--very nice, big grin. Shirley Temple plays a young, young teenager. Story is the war on the home front and home sweet home.
