Product Description

War correspondent John Davis faces drama every day: London aflame from German bombs and the personal sorrow that he and his wife can never have a child of their own. Then John meets Margaret and Peter, two traumatized war orphans who need him as much as he needs something to make his life whole. Robert Young is John and five-year-old Duse Margaret O'Brien is Margaret in an acclaimed wartime drama that is both tender and urgent, a sensitive film that never falls prey to sentiment thanks to the skill of director Maj. W.S. Van Dyke II (The Thin Man), the delightful rapport between Young and the children and the power of a fact-based story that transcends its era to speak to the universal need for family.

Heartwarming wartime drama...and propaganda

Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2014

Verified Purchase

This movie was made in 1943, in the middle of World War II. While it is made in 1943, the movie places an American war correspondent (Robert Young) and his wife (Loraine Day) in London just near the end of 1941, and before the bombing of Pearl Harbor. During one of the bombing raids, Young's character helps rescue a small boy from the the rubble, the only surviving member of his family. Young is assigned to a human interest story at a nearby orphanage where he again meets up with the little boy AND another child survivor, a little girl played by child star Margaret O'Brien. Both of these children not only steal their scenes, but will also steal your heart. Young's wife is injured in a shelling of the city and returns to America. There are of course complications as you will learn...hey I don't want to be the spoiler here. In any case, a bond grows between the correspondent and the children, and decisions must be made. The film is based on a true story which makes it even more endearing. Oh, and watch for a cameo appearance by someone who will act as an omen of future events. It is not until the end of the film that you realize that what has been heartwarming entertainment becomes a vehicle of Allied propaganda. In all, this is a wonderful film; it says a great deal in just under an hour and a half. And the chemistry between Young and O'Brien is fun and amazing. Why not watch it for yourself.

A World War II Favorite

Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2020

I first saw "Journey for Margaret" as a child on late-night television. It really had an impact on me then and it still does 50 years later. It's the story (based on true accounts) of a journalist who meets and adopts two children orphaned during the London blitz during WWII. It touches on the psychological damage done to the children by the bombings, loss of family, home, and personal possessions, and the lack of understanding for their trauma at that time in history. It ends with a feel-good moment so not depressing at all.

I watched this movie years ago on Turner Classic Movies, bought it on vhs, and was thrilled to get it on DVD. The quality was great on my big screen TV, which says a lot for the restorers of this 68 year-old film. The movie itself will move you to tears, especially the part where little Margaret lets down her guard for the first time after enduring six foster mothers (and the last foster mom you will want to shake!) I have a 1942 Life magazine article with pictures of the real Margaret, plus a first edition of the original book written by her adoptive father, and these make the movie even more special for me to watch. I would highly recommend this movie for avid history buffs like myself. I even recommend it for older children who are studying WWII in school. It gives a very accurate depiction of life in London during the Blitz, but it is not so graphic that it turns the stomach, as some WWII movies can.

Best reserved for fans of the stars

Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2018

Verified Purchase

I adore Margaret O'Brien and this movie is fairly good overall. Her role is not as big as I'd like, but she is only five here. The picture of WWII London and the orphanage are appropriately grim, an unexpected plus (though of course other movies have devoted more attention to the war and less to the troubles of orphans). O'Brien is highly regarded as a child actress, and deservedly so, and especially for her ability to cry convincingly and at length; in this movie I thought her crying was obviously faked or forced. This was, however, her first starring role, and her crying definitely improved in subsequent movies. The plot line is simplistic but serviceable (no surprises), the movie is heavy-handedly propagandistic at times, and the budget was apparently pretty small, but overall it's watchable. It's unfortunate that O'Brien's movies remain popular enough to keep the prices of her DVDs excessively high. Probably best reserved for fans of the stars (Robert Young gets the most screen time).

An eccellent movie with the stars all in top form. The dvd quality was first class, and staging of many scenes of bombing aftermath realistically done. The children were excellent throughout, and seeing the anguish on their faces had me reaching for the tissues time and time again.The comic elements relieved the sadness,eg. One child each holding Robert Youngs legs as he goes to leave.William Severn the child playing the boy Peter was just as good as Margaret but didn't appear to recieve any publicity at all, he's not even mentioned in the preview. Overall ,a wonderful movie I shall never forget. Dispatched with care and speed .Thank you Amazon Coral Vic.Australia.

Margaret played Margaret

Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2013

Verified Purchase

Margaret O'Brien played the title role in Journey for Margaret. She was such a darling actress and could melt your heart when her tear came so naturally when a scene called for them. The movie does not follow too closely the book by the same name written by William L. White, in fact, it is much better. Robert Young, Laraine Day, Margaret O'Brien, and William Severn are the four main charters in the film, each portraying desperate people in a war torn Europe trying to find peace and happiness. This is a must see classic film on my list. The ending is especially profound in today's world as they discuss America ever being attacked by war. You need to see the movie and listen to the end to feel what I felt. 9/11 changed the way I feel every time I watch this great film.
