Storyline:The film""s theme concerned the consequences (and suffering) resulting from the Tramp""s attachment and efforts to aid a blind girl (and restore her sight with money for an operation) and an eccentric millionaire.With a heavy Brooklyn accent, Doris (a "housewife" and "mother") describes in detail her nine year, four month ("and twelve days") marriage to Warren which produced three children: Warren, Jr.He became romantically interested in blind co-worker Reba McClane (Joan Allen).After a dinner ""date"" with Reba, the creepy Francis watched home movies of a pretty mother - one of his next family""s victims - as Reba innocently sat on the couch next to him.He walked up the brick steps of the mansion, with a significantly-placed ""lawn jockey"" of a gold-capped black man - a racist symbol in the genteel environment of Maryland.The children accompany Maria to town, each wearing matching clothing from the heavy window drapes.They cross a footbridge and visit the open market for shopping, where she juggles ripe tomatoes.The happy group skips along the banks of a river, rides a train up into the Austrian Alps hills, where they experience an open-air picnic on the verdant grassy area of the film""s opening sequence, with a magnificent panorama of beautiful peaks behind them.
