There was a time when working at office during the late 60s was ideal. I had the best generation providing training and guidance to someone from the Boomer generation. I learned to work hard because that is how one gets promotions and guess what I did. Not that I expected a promotion but being a temp working with the Tax Assessor's Office I worked as a temp as a Clerk I, and so instead of waiting for customers I kept busy helping the staff in typing cards for the women in the office, updating the file cabinets to make it more efficient. I loved keeping busy so the day of work would go fast. Then one day an office personnel saw me and told me I got a small promotion and I got to move to the Building Division where I would be calculating improvement of rebuilding slabs or other form of additions. I loved it and it was thoroughly checked over. I loved it and follow through to be kind to other employees when they needed my help. Now a days people would say, "not my job." I never did say that because anything that I can learn is beneficial to me in the long run. I got promotions due to my diligence, creative ways and worked hard throughout the many government jobs from Public Works Personnel, Miami International Airport to my favorite PSD - or Police Safety Department where I got two increases due to my ability to help and supervise too. Those 11 years were filled with hope and incredible work which I provided to many office co-workers to make their work easier. I loved what I did. Got married and raised a family learned to raise a family, cooperate with the school system and volunteered to help the school even first and 2nd grade. Fixed and learned to quilt and provided help wherever I cold including car-pooling with my next-door neighbor to make things easy for both of us in AL. Life is good when one can return the favors to those school moms that made my life so rich and fulfilled so I volunteered to do parties for two of my children's room too. I never forgot how wonderful those mothers were when I didn't get Christmas presents or birthday parties, so I return the favor as a gift to these wonderful mothers of those early years of mine.

Love Ethel Barrymore, excellent portrayal as congressmans mother.

This film was and should be a rallying cry to the people to bring back the government that should be America, the Republic, and the Constitution.

What a wonderful movie!

I wish they still made girls like Loretta Young.

What a beautiful movie!!!! Thank you!

We've been fighting corrupt government since 1947. Seventy-five years later and it's 75 times worse. Now we're dealing with a corrupt Supreme Court. It's unbelievable. Decency and honesty is not a thing anymore in politics. They also should have named this movie something that reflected the actual content. I was completely surprised by the direction this movie took. Excellent!

Politics has always been corrupt. It's all about money and power. The Supreme Court is about law and the constitution, not about pandering to the abortion. industry.

Yes, but I sure love to see it in these movies and others back in the 40s when it was popular to be morally ethical and decent.

Leaving home for first time, even when you want to or it’s exciting, heartbreaking leaving your parents and family. I did well but I returned 3 months later for a visit and when I left it hit me hard. I cried so hard. My mother never shed a tear. Maybe it’s just the way they filmed back then, but they have young Katie sitting so close to that older doctor. Katie should have waited for bus but I imagine $2.53 was quite a savings. If I were Katy, especially as he purposely wrecked his vehicle, I wouldn’t have paid his mechanic. She wasn’t driver. I would have gotten myself a room for night at another motel and took bus in morning. She should have still called police.

I used to watch this a lot when I was younger. I loved the idea of Loretta Young playing this young daughter(although she was over 30 in real life) and the guy who tried to tarnish her and took her money that should have went to nursing school was a real slime ball and I believe the mother saw it.But it's like a song I know from church. She went through bad but the Lord turned it into something good. In this case, it is true.

How lovely I if governments did have all the parties working together for the good of their people. Utopia.

The way the party threw the painter out with all his garbage made up slander and not giving him any mind should be what bosses should do when employees want to tattle or talk behind back , or bring up fictitious concerns of coworkers. But instead, bosses listen and actually believe the lies. And then aren’t honest and don’t let employees know that someone came in to speak about them. Employee never given chance to defend themselves and the boss moves on believing these made up assumptions because of a coworker with a big ego or jealousy.

It happened to me when I realized the office manager woman was a cheat and liar and ate my salads which I bought five for the week and she ate some of them because she was too damn lazy to bring from home. She was a pain in the butt by asking people going to lunch where they were going. It got so bad - they had to sneak through the back door. I sort of ask her in the beginning if she wanted something but realized she hated me so much. I stopped asking her if she wanted to get her lunch and decided to bring my own lunch salads which she paid me back by stealing my salads - NEVER again learn to stop being nice to shitty people. Why I prefer to eat by myself after that crap I went through with this awful woman. She took advantage of her position and would either be later or not show up due to helping her brother who had cancer but she should have discussed that with our boss that never listen to anyone despite her being a pain in the butt to everyone when they wanted to eat lunch outside without feeling committed to her to bring her lunch. I did her a favor hoping she be nice to the office instead she hated my guts.

You feel helpless, need the job & income and no one willing to help. I feel sorry that she was dealing with family issues, but it’s not an excuse to treat people bad and I’m guessing she was like that before her brother took ill. How long did you endure that? Did she finally leave or did you leave? Now that I’m older, when I’m in a toxic situation, I no longer stay. I only stay as long as it takes me to find another position. Those people never change and always seem to have support of management. God Bless. I hope you are in a happier place.
