Movie Reviews of Stella Dallas

Movie Review: Classic Story Of A Mother's Enduring Love For Her Daughter
Summary: 5 Stars

When the phrase "They don't make 'em like that anymore", is bandied about no film in my belief matches it more perfectly than King Vidor's 1937 tribute to a mother's self sacrificing love for her daughter in the classic "Stella Dallas". It marked a real breakthrough for Barbara Stanwyck into the emotionally charged type of roles for which she became renowned for in the next decade and won her a richly deserved nomination for Best Actress that year. I can't understand those people that nowadays dismiss this wonderful film as "syrupy",or "dated". Perhaps they have been too harshly conditioned by most of the cynical output from present day Hollywood. If any present day film dealing with inter family relationships had even half the emotional impact possessed by "Stella dallas", I'd love to see it.

Movie Review: Stella Dallas
Summary: 5 Stars

The disc was very good no glitches
the movie is a story of a lady who married a dream only to find it was not what she really wanted, and resulted in a long separation and ultimately ending in divorce. A daughter born of that marriage became the most important, and most loved thing in her life and because of that love she gave up her daughter to the girls father that the daughter may have lived the life of the mothers dreams. A very touching story of a mothers love and sacrifice.

Movie Review: A wonderful mom story.
Summary: 5 Stars

The mom (Barbara Stanwyck) is a tacky, tastless woman, but loves her little daughter so very much that she makes what I consider to be the ultimate sacrafice. I won't ruin the end for you by saying what she does, but it is one of my favorite old movies.

Don't bother with the re-make, which I believe was done in the 90's sometime. It's a terrible dissapointment.

Excellent movie. I was delighted to find out that this movie was on DVD. I could only find this classic movie only available here. Be aware to shed some tears because this movie is well worth it. Good value for my money.
