I watched this movie a lot growing up, which I might question my parents about as it portrays some fairly adult themes; abortion, incest, rape, murder and drug use, but I remember none of that. I mostly remember a beautiful score, New England in the 1940's, the multi use of tweed and tartan and it instilled in me a love of old barns and apple orchards.
