A quick comeback to TCM today.
I ended up seeing most of Since You Went Away (1944), missing only the first 20 or 30 minutes (it's almost three hours long).
What a great film. The performances are top notch and if you love weepy melodramas this is the film for you. The film was ripping my heart out every 20 minutes or so - the ups and downs were crazy but, I imagine, very real for much of the contemporary audience. Even the hokey ending didn't bother me so much.
If you get a chance to catch this one, please do try.
