I Remember Mama
You'll just love...MAMA!
Directed by George Stevens
Produced by RKO Radio Pictures
A tender, nostalgic portrait of an immigrant family held together by a mother's unwavering love, optimism, and quiet strength through modest hardship.
Norwegian immigrant Marta Hanson keeps a firm but loving hand on her household of four children, a devoted husband and a highly-educated lodger who reads great literature to the family every evening. Through financial crises, illnesses and the small triumphs of everyday life, Marta maintains her optimism and sense of humor, traits she passes on to her aspiring-author daughter, Katrin.
