Daughters Courageous

The stars and director of "Four Daughters" reunite for this warm melodrama (though unconnected to the series) about a father who, after abandoning his family 20 years earlier, returns to them in order to convince his youngest daughter not to marry a man like himself. As old wounds are reopened and slowly healed, the prodigal husband discovers how much he and his loved ones have changed since he left. John Garfield, Claude Rains, Priscilla Lane, Rosemary Lane, Lola Lane, and Gale Page star. 106 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
