Irene Dunne superb as Mama

I remember mama was on television tonight. I own the movie and had forgotten how truly wonderful this movie really is. It has moved up the list of my favorites. The plot is about a family of Norwegians who have immigrated to San Fransisco because her (Irene Dunne)sisters live there. This movie is set in the early 1900's and chronicle's the lives of the Hansens. Irene Dunne is truly an under-rated actress. I highly recommend this movie to all!

One Of Those Perfect Movies

Even though my family was English and French, I recognised each and every person portraid in this movie. I first saw I Remember Mama on the late movie back in the 50's when I was a kid and that era was still close enought to the time line of the story, that buildings and clothes were familier to me ( my great aunts dressed exactly like the women in the movie ). I don't know if younger viewers will enjoy it as much, but for me this is one of those perfect movies. I recently had occasion to to play I Remember Mama for my 88 year old father, who had never seen it.... he wept and asked to watch it again.

I Remember Mama

This movie is a classic and I remember watching it as a child, it's truely a family story, one you won't forget, very sweet.

A great movie.

No drugs, no violence just a great entertaining movie from another generation. Did I say 'no drugs'? Well, there is coffee. I think you'll enjoy this movie.

Heartwarming story & reminder of life in a simpler time.

I enjoyed this reminder of what my Norwegian ancestors experienced when they emigrated to this country. It brought back memories of my family stories of life back then, when life was much less complicated than we have today. Irene Dunne was exceptional in her role as Mama, as was the rest of the cast. Wonderful family film.
