coffeedan1927 Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 Sounds like you saw one of two versions of Edna Ferber's SO BIG. The first was filmed in 1932 with Barbara Stanwyck as a young girl who goes west to teach in a poor farming community. It was remade in 1953 with Jane Wyman in the lead, which I think might be the version you saw. The scene you mentioned is in both versions. Unfortunately, neither version is available on commercial video, but the 1932 Stanwyck film does turn up on TCM occasionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classicsfan1119 Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 But, "I'd Climb the Highest Mountain" was exactly the kind of movie Susan Heyward was best known for...and one I used to like a lot (smile). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
