Not as good as the short story, 28 March 2003
Author: Norma7 from USA

This film might have been more appealing to me had I not first read the short story. It really has to be in story form to get the full impact of the story. I read the short story in Freshman English in college and thought it to be the most touching, tear jerker I had ever read. A wonderful, well written tale!
