    Editorial Reviews

    George Stevens's charming film version of Kathryn Forbes' collection of short stories entitled Mama's Bank Account features Irene Dunne as Mama in one of her finest and most ingratiating performances. The film is narrated by Mama's daughter Katrin (Barbara Bel Geddes), recalling the trials and tribulations of her family in turn-of-the-century San Francisco. Mama tries to keep her house in order and her family on their toes as a motley assortment of eccentric relatives, boarders, and friends -- including Uncle Chris (Oscar Homolka), Mr. Hyde (Cedric Hardwicke), Dr. Johnson (Rudy Vallee), Mr. Thorkelson (Edgar Bergen) -- weave in and out of their lives.

    My Christmas Traditionby jadiehl

    March 14, 2009: Love this movie. Watching it on Christmas day has become a family tradition. We love Uncle Chris, the dark norwegian, Uncle Elizabeth and especially Mama. It reminds us of our own little Norwegian grandmother - especially the hospital scene. So glad to finally have a copy of our own.

    July 23, 2008: Irene Dunne is almost nearly forgotten today. That is sad, since she was the top actress of her day, and portrays the title character here with grace and humor. This is a classic story of an immigrant family, portrayed as honest and real. This family classic that has lost none of its magic...in fact the only thing a younger audience might quibble about is that is black and white...and it is...gloriously filmed that way.
