In some ways, this reminded me of “Goodbye

In some ways, this reminded me of “Goodbye, Mr. Chips” (1939) in that it quite touchingly illustrates the dedication of a schoolteacher to a profession that frequently saw their own lives being sacrificed. It also features a character who isn’t always appreciated by her students or even by some of her professional colleagues as time marches on. “Ella Bishop” (Martha Scott) has always been keen on education and takes great pride in being a woman of letters. She shines at school and is picked by its principal (Edmund Gwenn) to teach the younger kids English - a task that turns out to be quite a bit harder than you might have thought. At this stage in her life, romance is still a distinct possibility but rather cruelly her cousin “Amy” and another man’s wife got in the way - and so the remainder of this feature focuses on her strict but affectionate commitment to her charges whilst her own life follows quite a turbulent path of it’s own. When her sister dies moments after her daughter is born, “Ella” adopts her (Marsha Hunt) hoping that she will grow into a woman with ideals and principles of her own whilst giving her a renewed sense of purpose. Her one stalwart throughout her life is her loyal friend “Sam” (William Gargan) but can anything ever come of that? You also have to feel sorry for the poor old gardener (Sterling Holloway), too. It is poignant at times, but as it progresses it can’t stay out of the realms of sentiment and gradually becomes a rather predictable tale that is both sad and valedictory in equal measure, but just a bit hastily arrived at and gloopy. That said, Scott delivers an emotionally charged performance here and it does remind you that there was time, quite recently, when education was a bit of a luxury.

A decent film (in more ways than one)

Great Classic 1941 Film

Enjoyed this picture which deals with a young woman, Martha Scott,(Ella Bishop) who is bound and determined to go to college and become a teacher. Ella accomplishes her goal and is given the position of a freshman English teacher in her home town college. Edmund Quenn,(James Cocoran) "Miracle on 34th Street" who played the role as the college president and gave Ella this job at the college and grew very fond of her. Ella meets a young man and falls in love with him, however, he runs off with her sister and destroys her marriage plans and her thinking about ever getting married again. Sidney Blackmer,"Rosemary's Baby", gave a great supporting role along with Marsha Hunt. There is another romance that Ella experiences except it is with a married man and his wife will not give him a divorce, so poor Ellas has to make a big decision about which way she is going to take. William Gargan, (Sam Peters) is deeply in love with Ella and wants to marry her and stands by her when life's troubles came her way.

The sad part about this film is that Martha Scott never received an Academy Award for her great acting performance role in this picture.
