Message to My Daughter (1973)
Move ahead of its time
25 December 2014 - 1 out of 1 users found this review helpful.
I watched this movie in the '70s and was very moved by it. I think it was ahead of its time in that it addressed the issue of abortion by showing how dangerous it was for young women at the time as the procedure was not regulated. It also showed how judgmental society was at that time. The young woman's parents were more concerned about what their neighbors would say rather than what was happening to their daughter. The 3 main actors played their parts with strength and understatement.
I still remember the poem by Christina Rossetti,the young woman read to her daughter "When I am dead, my dearest . . . "
