A nice love story for the teens of 1961 or today to love, but the real treasure here are the characters played by Karl Malden and Dean Jagger.
24 January 2000 | by (New Jersey) – See all my reviews

I'm not sure how many times I've seen this movie, but whenever I notice it's on TV, I try to catch it. I just love the characters played by Karl Malden & Dean Jagger -- particularly Dean Jagger's character. Dean Jagger is at his best when he plays the part of the older gentlemen passing on wisdom to the next generation. He does it quite well in this movie, and an even better job of it in the movie 12 O'clock High. Both are films worth seeing.

Karl Malden's character is equally interesting. Even though he plays a real heavy in this movie, one can't help but feel sorry for him. Surrounded by sons who are worthless in his eyes, the only one worth a damn is a step-son (played by Troy) who refuses to kow-tow to Karl's wishes.
