The Sullivan's, renamed the Fighting Sullivan's, by Eddie Doherty.

This is a big tear jerker.

My Dad and Father in Law both fought in WWII, and even though they are both deceased now, I remember every word and discussion my family and I had about those times with them.

My mother in law and I would empty boxes of tissues while watching this one...lots of family discussions about the boys growing up and the scrapes that they would get in...and then to go off to war....

Great movie, I still try to watch it when it comes on PBS.

Have a good day, and be ready for the tears....

sorry no clue

I know what movie you're talking about, but I can't remember the name.

Sorry don't know name of movie but I think it was based on the story below:

July 8th 1916
Neighbours of The Hobbs family in Union Street, Lurgan recall the day the telegram boy cycled up the street at pace to deliver the shocking news that many men enlisted from the surrounding area - Sloan Street, Hill Street, Edward Street and Castle Lane had been killed in the Great War.

The door of number 143 Union Street was opened by Mrs Hobbs who fainted as the telegram boy handed her the message which confirmed the news that tragedy had befallen her family. Not an unusual occurrence at this time. Except what sets Mrs Hobbs apart form the many, many mothers who lost sons to war, was that she had just been told that three of her four sons fighting in France were dead.

Mrs. Miniver, I think. Greer Garson got the Best Actress award for it.
