"Train up a child in the way he should grow and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6. Proverbs 13:24 speaks of not sparing the rod. I know a family that trains Dogs to do all kinds of tricks, but their own children were never "trained" (disciplined) and ran amok in town.

I was eating and the ending saddened me so much that I stopped eating. Oh why are old movies so good and unforgettable? I will never forget this story My son,My son.

The child actors in this movie are better than adult actors in today's movies.

Covered an entire lifetime of relationships. Wonderful movie. It shown life's complicated emotional issues. ❤ Enjoyed this watch entirely. Didn't want it to end.

“Greater love has no man but this, that a man lay down his life for a friend.” ❤️❤️Wonderful movie 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

A sad yet powerful story. Sometimes the truth hurts more than is possible to bear. A great message to ponder about. Yes, worth watching again.

The old ones are the best! Thank you so much; I loved it.

Wonderful Brian Aherne!

Thank you for giving me the chance to watch this wonderful movie.

As a father who remembers being a son, indeed t'is not always obvious. A great film! Bravo... funny how good films were before hocus-pocus replaced great dialogue. Only wish could get my son to watch such wise old films. His day of wisdom concerning his father's love, like my own, will likely come a stroke of fate too late.

A cautionary tale. One sadly too many parents have missed. Just look around? Olivers EVERYWHERE!

This is my first time seeing this movie, and it’s definitely worth a second watching. I had to repeat some of the scenes, because I wasn’t sure what Oliver did to the young woman to cause her to commit suicide??? The only thing I could think of is, he possibly got her pregnant against her will 😮??

In the second part of the departer scene b/w William and his son Oliver, the hesitant tension of an embrace was powerful and perfectly timed and sequenced, rightfully holding back on it but not giving it; to rouse the watcher to wanting more from it. Well Well done .

Brian Aherne, a good English actor, born in Worcestershire, lived and died in NY, America. He was first married to Joan Fontaine, and divorced after 6 years. He remained married for 40 years to his 2nd wife until his death in 1986, age 83.

Some lasting years with stars like John Gilbert, Douglas Fairbanks jr, Yul Brynner & Brian Ahern. Marlene managed to stay married to Maria's father for over 50 years, part of their arrangement included the husbands mistress. They all coexisted and Maria wrote openly about all of it. Fascinating book. Brian Ahern & wife Fontaine were avid aviators, they even set records I believe. Joan was a fascinating woman too.

The simplistically life of old when a chance meeting lasted long enough for a walk so that man truly looked at woman and saw the beauty and intelligence of her and she fell in love with the twinkle in his eye and not the thickness of his wallet..

Long movie but didn’t seem long because it was constantly changing onto the next stage of their lives and boy was that a tearjerker movie at the end. 😭

I had no idea what this was about but so glad I watched it. Well written and the acting was superb. Thanks for sharing.

How many times through history the father and mother work to the bone to provide better for their children only for the children to turn out bad, spoiled, and pretty much useless and dependent on the parents unable to provide for themselves.

Very,very,intense movie of human relationships.Very,very well acted by all of the actors.Thank you,for showing this very well made film.

The main difference in these movies and the new ones is that you CARE about the characters in the old ones. Everyone in the new movies are superficial.

The only comment I have is - this is an awesome movie! Can't believe I've never even heard of it before, but so glad I accidently found it. I think the perfect word is "poignant".

Just for the record, the title is from the bible (2 Samuel 18:33), where King David spoiled rotten his son Absalom, who in turn turned against him and tried to take over Israel, and kill David.

Crazy about Madeline Carroll. She left her Hollywood career when her sister was killed in an air raid during WW 2. She volunteered her services to avenge her sisters killing.

every one of these old movies is the best movie ever made. anything newer is godless trash. oh the sobbing, the crying, the puddles of tears. what acting, what artistry. what brilliant moral content. if only hollywood still had the skill to make these movies the theaters would be packed.

Our nation needs to stand up and reject the vulgarity and political brainwashing of the movie goer's. Movies today have no real story and our great actors and actresses that were so very talented! Hollywood produces trash from the bottom of the Barrell. I haven't gone to the movies in years because I refuse to pay money to sit through a movie and be insulted with Filth language and vulgarity!

What a top melodrama, can't believe I haven't seen it! Thanks so much for the share, it made my night.

My dear grandfather and grandmother went through the WWII. Living in Rotterdam, with two toddlers. There have been times where I heard some of their stories through my mother (one of the toddlers then). They lived by the day, "one didn't know if one would still be alive the next day". I was always happy staying over at their place because there was such respect !! They had seen the uglyness of human behaviour in the war especially and they had this attitude too of "chin up, shoulders beneath the load/burden that one in this life had to carry". In a way the equivalent of going upwards, onward - excelsior 🎯💯. Whatever came on their way, incl. the death of their grandson (in the seventies) at the age of twelve, "they kept on" through it. Honour, selfdiscipline, loyalty, courage and picking up life again and again after ordeals. And even at a time of financial difficulty, there was always room for one extra.💞. They had values. This movie reminded me of them. A breath of fresh air - this movie and script. Thank you 🎀. Especially since the world is "slip-sliding away" concerning all the mentioned above. I'm sorry to say that in these days a remake of this movie, made within it's time-line..., would be an impossibility beyond measure. May God bless you and your extended ones 💐 Sincerely in Christ Jesus, 💖🕊️

Wonderful movie!Is it just me or does Brian Aherne look a bit like Kevin Kline??Anyhow,so glad to have seen this gem.

This film was great in demonstrating just what happens when you spare the rod and spoil the child. Could of written a better outcome to Maeve's situation though. Louis Hayward was a favorite of mine among British actors. He like many other soldiers came back from WW2 with PTSD that was known as "Shell Shock' or "Psychiatric collapse" back then. There was no rehab or resources to help these vets deal with the scars of war. His wife n' actress Ida Lupino couldn't keep their marriage together and he told her to divorce him.

Here in 2022 looking at the movies today,and in our betrayal of modern life one has to think with all our gadgets and sophiticated ways we have left a part of ourelves behind, the part that made us human! Now the world celebrates those who are like Oliver, the truly honest people get shoved aside and the calouse and ruthless people lead our world to a place where most of us will find no lasting happiness. Let us hope we can find it in our hearts to change this for all our sakes!

What you get from spoiling

just great!!

I really like Madeleine Carroll's and Laraine Day's characters in this film. Not many father/son dramas feature such interesting heroines.
