Review A poignant story of the home front during World War II and how young Homer Macauley (Rooney) deals with taking on the responsibility of being the man of the house while still growing up, his father having passed and his older brother overseas in the war.
Comment by Frankie Powerful and bittersweet movie. I first watched it when I was in high school and instantly fell in love with it. Very highly recommended. One of those hidden gems.
