One of my favorite movies is The Blue Veil. I have not been able to find a copy to buy. If anyone who reads this knows where I can buy a copy, please let me know. I wil be checking in from time to time to see if any information is out there. This movie would make me cry everytime I watched it. What a fantastic movie.

I have been a fan of Jane Wymans for years and own almost all of her movies. I recently searched the web for the movie THE BLUE VEIL and after many hours and days I was able to obtain a copy! It was copied by someone who taped it when it was on TV. While the copy I have is not in really great shape, it is watchable and I loved the the story line and I can’t say enough about Jane’s Wyman’s performace in this particular movie, it is one of her finest!! I too agree, if you ever see it on TV stop everything and sit down and enjoy a wonderful movie and a wonderful actress, it is heart stopper!

My late sister and I used to sit up on friday night and watch old movies on tbs and wgn. The Blue Veil was one of our favorites. Wish the miracle of dvd would lift this movie back to us. It is the movie that introduced Jane Wymann to me. Movies like this are what made the tissue companies millionares!!!! If you ever see this movie listed in the t.v. listings, cancel your bypass surgery and watch it.

To me, it’s a tie for my favorite movie. “Gentleman’s Agreement,” the Oscar winner for 1947’s best picture was terrific because it hit religious prejudice right on the head. If we saw what prejudice was as depicted by the film, the entire idea of anti-semitism and other forms of hatred would wither away.
For those who love the tear-jerkers, Jane Wyman’s “The Blue Veil” (1951) was magnificent. What Wyman went through in rearing other people’s children. The film was memorable. Sadly, it’s not available on VHS or DVD and hasn’t been shown in years.

My vote for my favorite film is a tie.
“The Blue Veil” (1951) conveys the torment that a woman goes through by raising other people’s children after she loses her newborn in childbirth and her husband has been killed in World War 1. Jane Wyman, as Louise Mason, was never better.
“Gentleman’s Agreement,” the Oscar winner of 1947 for best picture was so good because it hit it on the head regarding religious prejudice.

Best acting by Jane Wyman (even better than Johnny Belinda) in her career. Also wonderful supporting acting by Charles Laughton and Don Taylor. A thoroughly engrossing film that ends in the wrenching but wonderful climax that brings forth tears of thanksgiving. Find the print and show it. It is a lost treasure. Same can be said for “The Dark At the Top of the Stairs” which is by far William Inge’s greatest adaptation from stage to screen. It is also a brilliantly acted role for both Robert Preston (at least as good as “The Music Man”) and Dorothy McGuire (with a huge assist from Eve Arden). This one is a well-kept secret treasure and one that has gone lost as well. Both films leave the viewer as one with humanity and grateful to be human. Testimonies to the best in movies. Finding Fin Finding and releasing these films
