A beautiful movie from John Ford. This is a world war 1 movie told from a German Mother’s side. Its a tale of loss but not the loss of faith and hope. A mothers love is a pure love. This is a tear jerker but it does have a happy ending.
Please give it a watch. 4 out of 5 stars 1928.

HAPPY Mother’s Day!!!!!!❤❤❤❤
What a touching and heartfelt movie. John Ford can certainly tell a story. This early directing reflects what was to come by the time he was directing John Wayne movies. Thank you for posting these great movies through your Pizza Flix channel!
Oh my goodness I missed seeing John Wayne..I didn’t realize he was in this..thanks for sharing..I don’t know my John Wayne acting history 😅
Enjoyed the movie. Thanks very much.
MAKING MOVIES GOLDEN AGAIN! And this movie is certainly one of them! John Ford has done it again with his good old fashioned storytelling coupled with the visual brilliance (that we would later associate with his Cowboy movies)! Thank you, Pizzaflix!
