Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video
Ray Liotta plays a 1950s jingle composer whose wife dies, leaving him to raise their grieving young daughter (Tina Majorino) alone. Dad hires an African-American housekeeper (Whoopi Goldberg), who helps fill the gap in the child's life--and then Dad's life--and soon an interracial relationship crossing the social mores of the era is underway. Written and directed by Jessie Nelson, the film is a spot-on recreation of '50s suburbia without gratuitous kitsch. Liotta is perfect as a working man of the day, given to white shirts and narrow ties; Goldberg gives one of her finest performances as the levelheaded Corrina; and little Majorino is heartbreakingly effective. But the film entirely bears the stamp of one person, and that's Nelson, who has a wonderfully witty eye and a sophisticated but sensitive approach to the crosscurrents of emotion at play in this story. --Tom Keogh

5 out of 5 stars Tragically Unknown!.......2007-06-27

It is so sad that very few people have even heard of this movie! It is so charming, heartbreaking and beautiful.
I rented the movie and after watching it I immediately got on Amazon and bought it. It is such an honest and solid movie, it's hard not to like it.
I can't imagine that you won't enjoy at least some aspect of this movie.
It's worth watching. It will soon become a favorite. I promise.

This movie has it all and that is why I think I like it so much! It has comedy, drama, and musical entertainment also. It is a movie the whole family could watch together.
