Editor
Al finalizar la Guerra Civil Americana, la familia Pride decide dejar su Ohio natal y empezar una nueva vida al este del país. Allí, el patriarca viudo se casa con una mujer 21 años menor que él y, con tan solo, tres años más que su hijo. La película nace de la mezcla de los dos primeros episodios de la serie "The Road West" (1966-1967), dirigida por el mismo McEveety ("Amy") y que contó con un total de 29 capítulos. Algunas de las series más conocidas de los 90 como "Colombo", "Se ha escrito un crimen" y "Diagnóstico asesinato" han pasado por las manos del mismo director. El elenco de actores lo encabeza Barry Sullivan ("The Last Straw") que interpreta al cabeza de la estirpe Piride, Ben. Y Brenda Scott ("Oscar Phitkin: A Vendor's Tale") se mete en el papel de la esposa joven, Margaret. Scott fue una habitual de las series televisivas de las décadas de los 60 y 70. Participó en algunos capítulos de "El virginiano", "Hawai5-0" y "Ironside" entre otros.

Her Honor, the Nurse
Editor
This RKO-Pathe Screenliner short looks at the duties of the modern nurse. The story tracks the education of a student nurse as she works toward graduation and shows the earning of her cap during her student days, in retrospect. At the beginning, she wears the Student Nurse uniform dress and apron only, with no cap. She appears later in the movie as a more experienced Senior student with her cap already wearing a stripe. This was frequently done in the three year hospital programs to differentiate the Junior level students from the Seniors, more experienced and closer to Graduation. The capping ceremony illustrated shows the bare headed students receiving their plain white cap, and addressing it as something from her past that she will remember fondly.
