Yes, we read the transcript of the play in high school and I saw the movie maybe a year later. We had a book that had several plays such as this one, YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU, HARVEY and THE GLASS MENAGERIE, and they were illustrated with stills from the film adaptations.

WEDDING works on the page and it probably worked on the stage, but Frankie, up close and in your face on a movie or TV screen is just way too much to bear and too obviously an adult, which for me made it all the more intolerable.

per clore:
the details may have been a bit jumbled as far as the ending goes. That seems to often be the case for films not seen in decades

Definitely the case with me. I often misremember plots of movies I haven't seen in a very long time.

I haven't been able to sit through the film a second time . . . . "Frankie" is just too annoying for me to get past the first half-hour or so again.

Same here. I just read the book.

Except that Emma doesn't die and the children realize they were wrong and rekindle their affection for her.

I realize that, but was willing to consider that the details may have been a bit jumbled as far as the ending goes. That seems to often be the case for films not seen in decades. There was a death toward the end and a change of heart on the part of the "children" but Emma moves on to another family as I recall.

You may be right on the second film. Despite being an admirer of Zinnemann, I haven't been able to sit through the film a second time and my first viewing was when I was in high school which was over 40 years ago. "Frankie" is just too annoying for me to get past the first half-hour or so again.

The first movie may be the silent version of Uncle Tom's Cabin. You can see it on YouTube to confirm. Type in Uncle Tom's Cabin 1927.

It's not exactly the same, but I'll take a stab at the second movie. It might be The Member of the Wedding:

The third movie that you mentioned is most likely EMMA with Marie Dressler.
