Elena de la Torre

A magnificent movie made from the biography of this exemplary lady (Edna Gladney). [Full review in Spanish]

TV Guide

It was a noble deed and a noble effort to make a biography about a woman who was virtually unknown outside Texas, but the picture was long, overly teary, and didn't excite too many people at the box office, although it did make money.

Result is a sentimentally sugary flavor which also extends over the romantic portions of the film. There is no comedy relief.

Littered with stilted melodrama, wooden dialogue, and over-the-top courtroom showdowns.

One of the weakest films to be nominated for the Best Picture Oscar, this biopic of Edna Gladney is uncharacteristically poorly scripted by Anita Loos and poorly helmed by Mervyn LeRoy.
