I never tire of this movie. The message stands the test of time: Live deliberately! Be present! Stay in the moment! Thank you, Thornton Wilder.

I grew up with such movies. What for amazing times and great movies, back then. I could never have enough of. Thank you so very much for bringing back my most dearest and loving memories of best days when people´s education and manner were primordial and family, friends and neighbors were important.

Life wasn’t easy back then, but community and fellowship was the greatest thing that helped people live and get by.

I loved teaching this play in high school. It make quite an impression on me. I hope it made an impression on some students as well.

Beautiful Aaron Copland score. I lived in NH as a child, later attended UNH after a few years in Europe. My auntie still lives in the farmhouse in Epping my grandparents bought in 1942.

As a pastor, I would ask the family and guests to please rise as the bride was walked down the aisle by her father

What in the world did folks do before there was radio, tv or movies? I’m guessing most folks spent a large amount of time at church gatherings and other social events and maybe even regular family gatherings

Pa, why aren't you out there chopping wood?

[sheilahadley]

As i am sure this is a classic, i cant understand a dang word as audio is way to fast...

I'm asking if Grovers is a real place? I've heard about it from different movies including War of the World.

Wish they had some different ETHNICITIES in this movie.
