Eleven years before this film, Sally made my favorite film of all..."Murphy's Romance," with James Garner...oh my, what a beautiful film!!
I agree. Very sweet film. I actually just watched it last night (for the 3rd time).
I watched Murphy’s Romance 💘 about 2 months ago. As soon as I finished it I was tempted to watch it the second time right away. Another one you should watch, if you haven’t already done so, is: One Special Night starring James Garner and Julie Andrews. It was really special too and I read that he and Julie Andrews had a special relationship. However, I’m glad that it didn’t imply that it was anything sexual. I also read somewhere that he said that to have a successful marriage an actor shouldn’t fall in love with his costar. 🥰🥰🥰💘💘💘
Oooo, thanks. Gonna watch it next. ❤
She was also pretty good in smokey and the bandit. 😅
Sally field was born to play in period films. Love her southern drawl!
I agree! I loved her in Places of Heart.
Her name used to be Fields..with an S on the end.
Thank you for this wonderful movie. I look forward to parts 2 & 3. As a widow, I so related to her grief, bewilderment, and loneliness. People tell me how strong I am. If they only knew… I’m lost without him.
@D : I'm so sorry for your loss. 🙏I still have my husband, and can't imagine what life would be like without him.
@@paisley293 Just enjoy having him. Ive realized that most of our fusses were about repetitive small stuff. What a waste of precious time…
❤ sorry for your loss. 🙏’s
@@user-ei8rb7sj6cso sorry for your loss. You are right!! Most of our fusses are because of small repetitive behavior, but we don’t realize it at the time.
@@paisley293 None of us can until it happens. I’m so thankful I had friends, neighbors and family who were there in the beginning while I was still in shock & disbelief to bring food, help plan his service, clean house, do laundry, wash dishes, or just be there to sit with me in silence or listen if I needed to reminisce, talk or cry. Others helped with practical matters such as recommending I buy AAA roadside assistance; recommending a trustworthy financial advisor, going with me to our attorneys office to change our will to my will, set up medical POA, etc. Later, friends & neighbors came to haul off heavy outdoor things that had been piling up to be discarded, but my DH hadn’t gotten around to, yet. I was blessed by so many acts of loving kindness, and I try to pay it forward whenever I can. Something I heard someone say still rings true with me: “The love and grief we feel for our lost loved one never ends. We go on by tucking it away in a special place in our heart, then going about living by opening our hearts and minds to the next chapter of our lives.” I truly hope this helps someone out there reading this. ❤️
What a good movie. I'm looking forward to Part 2. Those were the days of good values and morals. I pray to God we return to the Lord and stop the evil on this planet. Amen. 🙏✝️🙇♀️
There has ALWAYS been good and bad morals since the fall of Adam and one of his sons being murdered by the other.
@manic hairdo That’s true. But, we are becoming so perverted today that i don't even recognize it. Look at what the news is reporting about. Transgender assaults on women's sports, shootings at kids' schools, and people mocking and killing Christians all over the world. Humans have become so evil because of the devil's intrusion upon the world. This darkness has invaded every part of society. Even world leaders are promoting hate and destruction. My heart is greatly saddened by the events of today. I have an extremely difficult time coping with the distorted truths and constant attacks on morality in the United States. We have turned our back from God and His goodness. Being a Christian is not an easy road to take, but through prayer, i'm doing my best to handle it and remain sane in the chaos. I don't want to see others pulled into Satan's darkness. 🙏😢✝️💔🌎
This is fiction , not history. Talking about the times when values etc.
No, we are in a different time period now that the world hasn’t seen and unfortunately it’s gonna get worse because the Bible said so only thing that’s gonna get you through is belonging to Jesus.
You mean the good ole days when segregation was a Christian way to live, upheld by all the preachers in the southern states? Or were you reaching back to the slavers" time when it was really, really good to be white and Christian?
Neither time was a "good" or "moral" time to be anything but white. Religious people... selfish hypocrites.
Thank you for warning me against watching this silly claptrap movie.
It's been so long since I've seen this Movie! I read the book first then the Movie came out & it was even better thanks to Sally Fields! There's no one like her.
I love every picture that Sally Field plays in .she never made a bad movie.Thanks!
She does an excellent southern accent!
Agreed!
Anyone else out there remember Sally Field… being Sally Fields?
YES!!! It WAS Fields
...with an " s" on the end..you are right.
Yes. I am certain it was always sally fields
I think we remember that, as do I, because of the context we always heard or read about her. I looked this subject up and others question it too. But articles say things like Sally Field's new movie etc. In possessive form. Some words also seem easier to hear as plural. Field is a actual noun. One field, many fields. An s wouldn't be automatic on other names like Taylor or Green!
I think that we are all suffering from some sort of mass hallucinations 😂 I've just seen something from 1971 with a very young Sally Field..no 's' sorry ladies!
I love to see this kind of love and devotion in a love union, and good old fashioned family values where a man is in his masculinity and is non toxic, and a woman in her femininity being not toxic in the family unit. ❤❤❤❤ i especially loved how when she had a human moment of letting out her frustration and directing it at her son in an abusive manner, once made to stop and take thought on what shed done, she realised her human mistake and quickly made it right with her son and their bond. Love, love, love 🥰🥰🥰
Excellent! Sally Field has to be the best actress ever!
It has been decades since I saw this mini-series. Sally Field must have been in her early forties playing this character. She could pull off pretty much any part she played as believable! Nice to see this uploaded, with all parts intended. On to part two...
I admire the way she took responsibility for her daughter’s accident, among other things.
I’m not really sure about your comment? Her daughter’s accident was purely that, an accident 🤷♀️ her daughter let go of her mother’s hand and ran onto the road! Children did that in those days and do so even today! What else was she responsible for? (In your eyes)
I think she’s one lucky beeeatch
She took responsibility in that she refused to take advantage of the accident to sue the driver, because she knew that it wasn't his fault. She also feels a mothers guilt because she was so taken up with her Shakespeare society instead of concentrating on her daughter's hand.
I agree that we should celebrate the life of someone when he or she passes.
I have known people who have done that. It is a beautiful custom and brings comfort to the hearts of those who loved the departed one.
She was ahead of her time, though, with that suggestion. Too many think that the degree to which you care about a person who passes on is best demonstrated by who can keep a long face the longest.
I don’t think I have heard “Beautiful Dreamer” since my mother played it on the piano. ❤
Sally Field is always so good.
❤Great picture! Sally Field has always been one of my favorite actresses,such a sweet person!!!
Thank you for uploading such a fine period movie. Had never heard of it before. I am a patient human and look forward to the continuing parts 2 and 3. 🌻😊
Yes! What a wonderful surprise. I noticed one of her son's names in the credits - ELI CRAIG! SALLY IS AWESOME!
"I'm steaming!"---Lol!!😂😊 Sally Field is just too darling!
Sally is a Treasure! A truly great actress. Bob.
What a fantastic movie. Will be watching for parts two and three. Thank you!
Ditto!
Sally Field made this movie. Excellent acting!!!
I started laughing when the new car was bought. At 20 horsepower, it has less horsepower than my ride-on lawn mower!
And they drove it from texas to Connecticut. Lol
With the top down, I’m sure.
Right , hard to imagine but still that was a big deal to go from horses to the first cars .
No doubt those people back then would freak out if they could see what kind of horsepower and what kind of vehicles we have now .
Love Sally Field. This is a beautiful production. Looking forward to part 2.
Me too 👍❤️❤️
Just sent the link to Tracy Tinnon, if you can't find it.
Found this by chance. A lovely film and great acting. Looking forward to Part Two. Thank you for uploading.
A really nice little movie. The kind that you can cuddle up and sink into like a soft warm bed for a while. If you don’t like a family’s life saga as the plot, then you might not like it though.
Beautiful movie. Wonderful acting as always with Sally Field and Tony Goldwyn. Looking forward to part 2 and 3. Thank You so much for uploading such a treasure of a movie...
Ohhh its 3 parted...thank you I saved 1 can see 2 is now up I will await 3 so can have a lazy afternoon and watch all.
Nice comment. After a while they start to go downhill all the way to downright nasty. How could anyone make nasty comments about this movie?
I haven't seen this movie in years and I am enjoying it.
What a wonderful period piece. Sally Field I such a remarkable actress. Thanks for sharing.
Mark see crazy...
@@MONEYAINTATHANG100what?
Thanks for uploading this lovely mini series
What a really lovely film. Looking forward to part two because I've already started guessing what's going to happen. 😂😂😂
It's too slow. I camt believe after all this, there is still a part 2 & 3
Thank you for the upload.❤ I sure hope you have part two!
I agree. Several of us were looking for it. Maybe you can let us know how long it will be. Otherwise, I’m off to the library to rent the dvd. Lol
Wonderful movie!
@@cumberlandquiltchic1 That's a good idea! I might head to the library myself. I haven't been there in several years!
@@cumberlandquiltchic1 I don't know if you saw it, but the uploader said they would post part two today, Friday, June 2 and part three next Friday, June 9! I'm so happy!💜💜💜
I just looked and part two is already up!👏👏👏
Thank you! Im watching it! Love this movie! Never seen it before now.
@@cumberlandquiltchic1 I'll be watching it tonight while I have dinner. I always have dinner and a movie each night. It's kind of a ritual for me.😊
Can't wait until the 2nd part of this movie
This is one of my favorites of all time, thank you for posting it!
Where is part 2??
@@jennief7114 put it in search . It's on here I saw it.
@@elizabethmencia6027 I tried! Could not find. Maybe because I am old.🤣 Will keep searching.
I don’t believe it’s been posted on this channel yet. Looks like this part 1 was just put up.
Might be able to find on another channel, but I don’t see it on this one yet.
@@jennief7114 They are planning to load part 2 and 3 on here in a few days.
Thank-you for the upload. I've never heard of or seen this movie. Eagerly awaiting the remaining parts of the movie.
I second that. 😊 what a treasure ❤
I hope you show the 2nd part of this movie. I love Sally Field’s movies.
Sex
Really hope they continue the series. Great movie we need more of. Elizabeth Hailey supposedly wrote it. In the 50s corsets were the rage. Crazy custom just to look slim. Maybe caused autism in child births.
Very happy to know there's a part 2 and 3. I was shocked to think the film ended so abruptly.
Sally looks so youthful! She was born 1946 and this film came out 1995 her being 49!
In her 70s and still cute!❤
I find her looking very old.
She LOOKS 49 in this though.
Started this movie bored now can't stop checking for part 2,hurry up!
Part 2 and 3 coming up soon..
@@TheArchiveTV Thank you!
Thank you so much for uploading part 2 as well. I loved both part 1& 2.
Open your eyes for daddy.....that made me cry!
😊
Any movie Sally Fields is in I’ll watch.
“Rob, you can’t talk to Mr Lawrence without a crease in your trousers!” 😅 (at approx. 5:00 )
Can you imagine that crrase in 2023
I thoroughly enjoyed that. ❤ left me wishing there was a sequel showing Beths efforts and help in saving Robs company. ❤
There's a part 2 & 3.😊
Please post Part3 & 4 soon. This has been a very good movie. THANK YOU!
I remember watching this movie when it first came out and I loved it, thank you for uploading it ❤️
Well then, if we knew what year this episode ended, we would know if she was dealing in cash when the Stock Market Crash hit USA. It's possible the 'Woman of Means' survives with her children.
The Film reminds me of youth, innocence, & all the hard work thrown into marriage, children, home, & business trying to balance it all - winning, & loosing .
If it weren't for Sally Fields it's a good story, Sally adds fire. I want to cheer & cry for her.
Well... fact is... I've liked and loved MS. SALLY FIELD just about all my life! Since I was a kid. Wholesome and pretty and sweet and smart, **Sally.* My Auntie' s name. My illustrious *AUNT SALLY HULL CROFWELL*
Beautiful movie. Can't wait for part 2
Where is part two?! I can't find it and it's making me crazy to not have the other half of the story! WHY would there just be a part one?! Please post the part two. PLEASE. Thank you so much for posting this but seriously we want to see the rest of it.
It says there is part 1 2 and 3. Where is two and three? This is ridiculous. At least tell assistant 2 and 3 so we don't have to look for it
They uploaded it yesterday.. check it again
Part 2 is definitely there. I had to look for number 1 tonight.
I went to the search bar it looks like a looking glass type in the title part 2 or 3

Not sure what you mean by insteading time ? I never heard of that expression before ... are you sure you didn't mean interesting time ?
A Woman of Independent Means (TV Mini Series 1995)
Bess Steed marries her childhood sweetheart in the early part of the 20th century and begins a life in the high society of Dallas, Texas. As time goes by, things do not work out as she expects. Her husband dies of influenza, and she finds that she must pick up and carry along with her life. She proves to be a strong, commited, and loving individual who attracts new loves into her life and finds that she can take good care of the old ones. Despite further tragedy in losing her oldest son, and a second marriage that is not all that she expects it to be she continues to survive as independently as she has discovered the courage to do so. - imdb 6.6
And she had her own dough..that always helps.
That was life back then.
I had the book and watched this when it 1st came out..I was only a teenager at the time 😊
I had never heard of this movie...looking forward to part 2
This movie was so good had me in tears
I am sure I read the book. I really liked this story and often thought of it. I I will will definitely know in part 2.
Great series. I implore you to watch.
One of the best movies ever
Looking forward to part 2 soon. Thank you 😊
The entire world wants to kiss that beautiful woman. Lucky you..
Lol..no..not the ENTIRE world.. I think not.
I LOVE THIS MOVIE ❤….and I Love Sally Field
PLEASE put up part two and three. I don't have Amazon prime nor do I have a DVD player if I could even find it at a library. This is REALLY frustrating! It's ALWAYS something with CZcams anymore. Ugh!
Part 2 and 3 coming up soon..
@@TheArchiveTV Thank you so much! I hate not seeing the full movie when I start watching. Color me grateful for uploading!
Thank you 🤩🤩💖
I couldn't imagine wanting to take a Ship across the Ocean when lm Pregnant...
Can't wait for the next one!
This looks like it's going to be good😊
It wasn't.
@@theoryofpersonality1420 I enjoyed it. Nice calm escapism 😂Going to part two. Puts me to sleep but I want to know what happened to her!!
Always so much tragedy in these old southern shows !
I guess that some women tried to band down their stomachs. They were lucky to survive that way.
Their unborn babies were lucky to survive too!!!
Enjoyed this so much!❤❤❤
12 minutes...my Mother is a Mouse of independent Means because she Sold her Home and Moved in with me and my Family and bought Microsoft Stock Back in '95...she subsequently Destroyed our Lives and I ended up Divorced, Penniless and was even living in my Car at one time! Thanks for Everything Marmie...😮
Ok then.
Wow.
Love that Birth of Eleanor scene
@ TheArchiveTV -----------
The heading for this movie indicates that there are other parts associated with this production, this one being Part 1, so will you be uploading and sharing the other parts on your channel?
Thank you very much.
Ended that left me wondering..maybe leaving this family without means..a woman of means made decisions that cleared the debts but her good fortune would have continued..having precedence always for others surely her survival would continue…❤
There's a part 2 and 3 to this movie
Oh this again-so like CZcams, where is part2 with Sally Field?!!!!!!!!! And what happened to The CBC version of The Campbells story. Just discontinued with no
notice. It was a good series set in late 1800"s and when I typed it in recently the Episodes list was gone! Why?
They probably uploaded it illegally and got caught so they had to take it down.
Someone else in the comments has mentioned seeing part two already so evidently it’s there. 😊
I always enjoy Sally Fields' acting . . . However, in this instance I find that the closed captions occur about two sentences after the spoken words. . . . Hopefully this can be corrected, & isn't a problem in parts 2 & 3.
Totally agree and the quality of the picture is very poor and unclear. WHY?? It’s very frustrating! Hopefully parts 2&3 will be much improved. I truly feel this is an Excellent Film but this video & audio fails to do it justice!!!
Very Nice Thank You
All my love….
Respectfully,
The Florist…🌹
Loved it 👍
Happy birthday at sally from italian boy live in rome and I m fan of this movie
That's how it ends? Leaving us hanging like that? I feel cheated!!!
Your comment is making me delete the rest because I don’t want disappointment. Thank you for the Heads Up.
HOW DO I GET PART 2 ???
Part 2 and 3 coming up soon..
Where is part 2?
There's not one. That's it. A movie with no plot and no ending.
There is Part1, 2 and 3
Can you Load it up? 2 and 3 also?
Please!
There is 1-3 but this was only 1 I hope soon the person can also show 2-3
Amazon Prime has all 3 parts.
@@earthangel2522 thank you
Not even 5 minutes in and i cant help but think I can't believe those ignorant fools kept themselves hidden away during pregnancy
makes it all the more amazing
..the strides we've made
..and the cost we paid
but.. 'ignorant fools'
.. what's that about
Keep in mind the mortality rate in those days - for mother and baby.
Go back to Victorian days, where they were shut away in a room.
Wonderful movie
💙💜❤️ period pieces!!!
Well I’m glad she got married again !
Thank You
Bummer! What happened to part 2? Advertised up to Part 5 but no show!
That was so depressing I kept hoping it would improve. 😢
The cat drowning part 😭
Why in the world did they even have to mention that ... I'm only about 8 minutes into the movie but they could have left that out ... that really messed with my head ... and my heart .
Yes, I do! Love her anyway!
Hi it a very good movie thankyou
Can’t make out one word being said due to music might as well turn it off
"Hold on to what we have "
Edit the creator posted part two and three will be posted soon! ❤ When and where is part two please???? Anyone.
Saw this movie years ago.
Please add links to part 2 and part 3....
What a GEM. 🙄
I just finished the book
Where can we find parts 2 and 3
Part 2 and 3 coming up soon..
If you don't have a part 2 up theres no point in watching. Think about that next time
Part 2 and 3 coming up soon..
@@TheArchiveTV, a piece of advice. If you want to keep your viewers happy, in the future you should not post one episode of a multi-episode program, but wait until you can upload ALL the episodes. You've got an unhappy bunch of viewers who aren't going to follow you if this is going to be a pattern for you.
