Molly: An American Girl on the Home Front is a perfect
way to start of our Movie Monday series on July 4th, because the
Molly movie is all about being patriotic!
The story starts with Molly and her friends, Linda and
Susan. They spend a lot of time together at school and at home. Molly is very
close to her family, and when her father, who is a doctor, decides to go to
England to help America’s wounded soldiers it causes Molly to become upset. As
the story continues, Molly’s mother goes to work at a factory and Mrs. Gilford,
who is the McIntire’s neighbor, comes and babysits Molly and her siblings while
their mother is away. One day, Molly comes home with her friends and encounters
a girl in her home that is from England, Emily. At first, Emily is quiet and
shy and tells the girls her background, including a large manor, servants, and
tea with the princesses.
After finding out about a tap-dancing opportunity, Molly
is determined to work hard over the summer to become Miss Victory. Somewhere
along the line, the McIntire family finds out that Dr. McIntire has been classified
Missing.
*SPOILER ALERT*
Another story within the movie is about Molly’s favorite
teacher, Miss Campbell. It’s a typical sweetheart story with her fiancé being
drafted and then ends up dying.
Emily ends up pouring out her story to Molly late at
night during a sad but sweet scene. She really came from a small home where her
mother died and they were merely living above a small shop in a tiny apartment.
Molly does end up becoming Miss Victory, and after the Christmas
show at school, she suddenly sees her father causing a reunion of the family.
Anyways, it’s a sweet ending at Christmas!
I liked this AG movie a lot, one of my favorites of the
historical movies. Maya Ritter, a Canadian actress (what?!?!?!) stars
as Molly. I love the acting, it’s really good and the story is really sweet. I’d
recommend this one! Really, I have no complaints! To me, the whole movie is
historically accurate, which would be harder than the GOTY movies (yet I like
it more!). Here’s a couple pictures I grabbed off Bing. Enjoy!
