About the Event:
Starring Jennifer Jones, Robert Stack, Kipp Hamilton, Robert Douglas, Peggy Knudsen.
“Jennifer Jones gives a moving, throat-catching portrait of a dedicated, no-nonsense, schoolteacher whose influence for good on a small New England community and its citizens has spanned two generations and looks likely to carry into a third,” summed up one reviewer.  Director Henry Koster turns what would otherwise be a simple, even soap opera-ish, story into a believable drama that credibly pits hardship against integrity, and nobility against tragedy. The “terrible Miss Dove,”as her young students referred to her in her early days of teaching, is a warm though fiercely principled woman whose effects on her students through the years are as touching as they are profound.  After seeing it, you’ll swear you know someone like this.  More importantly, you will go away wanting some of the traits that define Miss Dove.
