《慈母泪》是由艾琳·邓恩,芭芭拉·贝尔·戈迪斯,奥斯卡·霍莫尔卡,菲利普·多恩,塞德里克·哈德主演的一部剧情片，Loosely based on Kathryn Forbes' book -Mama's Bank Account-, this film actually contains richer detail and more intricate character- izations. In turn-of-the-century San Francisco, young Katrina Hansen chronicles episodes of life with her extended family, who combine traditional Norwegian values with modern American ways. So successful that it became a popular radio show, and then a TV sitcom, both with Barbara BelGeddes and Irene Dunne from the film.
