My favorite scene is when Frederic March comes home and the door is opened by Teresa Wright. Wanting to surprise his wife, he motions her to not say anything. Myrna Loy is in the kitchen and asks her daughter who's at the door. When she gets no answer, you can see by the changing expression on her face that she has realized that her husband has just returned home.

Each time I've watched this film(and it's been many)this scene produces a flood of tears.
