![]() ![]() Probably the biggest conflict in the film, besides the fact that Sarah is extremely homesick, is that Jacob expects Sarah to be like his late wife-who seems to have been a quiet, gentle woman. Sarah, the main character, is far from perfect, and there is a constant battle-of-wills between her and Jacob. One of the things I really liked about this movie was that it didn't have any sticky-sweetness that is common in family films. It's a wonderful story of a young mail-order bride who travels from her home in Maine to the vast strangeness of undeveloped, prarie-town, Kansas. In most cases, movies based on books are usually a let-down, but this movie, in my opinion, was even better than the book itself. I remember reading the book, Sarah, Plain and Tall, as a small child, probably for school or something. ![]()
