Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential video:
This high point in the 1940s vogue for movies about family life at the turn of the century was directed by George Stevens (Shane), and stars Irene Dunne as the matriarch of a Norwegian family that faces hard knocks with grace in 1910 (or so) San Francisco. Based on John Van Druten's hit play (derived from Kathryn Forbes's autobiographical memoir), the film is gorgeously rendered and quite moving as an act of memory. The sterling cast of character actors--Edgar Bergen, Rudy Vallee, Oscar Homolka, Barbara Bel Geddes, Ellen Corby, Cedric Hardwicke--add great texture and a depth of experience that make the film feel quite lived-in. Hardwicke's turn as a penniless boarder who "pays" his rent by reciting from classic literature is a special highlight. --Tom Keogh

I watched this movie with my 17 year old daughter. We both found it very touching and relevant even though it is dated. Irene Dunne is wonderful as the Mama.

- beloved family story
I Remember Mama is a wonderful story that I never get tired of seeing again and again. Irene Dunne is at the top of her game in this movie.

I loved this movie. I watched the movie on television and knew I had to own it.

- Wonderful escapism with lots of realism
I finally got around to watching this movie after knowing about it for some time and coming close to watching it once. I found it thoroughly delightful with just the right amount of sentimentality, not overly mushy. Being a book lover and especially of English literature, I particularly enjoyed the references to some of my favorite books. While the film obviously centers around the mother (played wonderfully by Irene Dunn in a role like no other I've ever seen her in) I think tribute should also be made to the somewhat silent yet strong role the father played. I particularly liked the way he offered coffee to the daughter when she so obviously had "grown up" (as well as the look on his face when the mother doused with cream) and the "smoking" lesson he taught his son. But the whole movie ... Read More

- Heartwarming story & reminder of life in a simpler time.
I enjoyed this reminder of what my Norwegian ancestors experienced when they emigrated to this country. It brought back memories of my family stories of life back then, when life was much less complicated than we have today. Irene Dunne was exceptional in her role as Mama, as was the rest of the cast. Wonderful family film.
