After the fall of France during World War II, world weary newspaper correspondent John Davis and his pregnant wife Nora travel to London where they are met by John's colleague, Herbert V. Allison. Although John pleads with Nora to return home to the safety of Connecticut, she refuses to leave his side. As more European countries fall to the Germans, Nora fears that John has become jaded and is loosing his conviction. One night while on a foray into the blitzkrieged streets of London, John encounters a little boy clutching a stuffed lamb buried in the rubble left behind by the German bombers. Upon returning to his hotel, John discovers that Nora has been injured in the air raid and taken to the hospital. At the hospital, the doctor informs John that Nora has lost their baby and will never be able to have another. Although the doctor has advised John to withhold the bad news from Nora, she senses the truth and is driven to hysterics. While trying to calm Nora, John finds the little boy's lamb stuffed in his coat pocket. Months later, Nora has recovered her health but not her equilibrium. She is about to fly home when Allison asks her to stay with John and face what has happened to her, but denying the extent of her pain, Nora disregards his advice and returns home. Assigned by Allison to write a story about an orphanage for war refugees, John proceeds to the Riswick Children's Home and meets its director, Trudy Strauss. There, John is moved by the traumatized children, the innocent victims of war, and recognizes the little boy he pulled from the ruins. Trudy explains that the boy, Peter, has not spoken since coming to the orphanage. When John returns the stuffed lamb to the boy, Peter develops a profound attachment to him and John promises to join him later for tea. Afterward, one of the foster parents returns to the orphanage a troubled little girl named Margaret. From Margaret's neck dangles a chain holding the casing from a bomb. When Margaret refuses to part with the bomb and continually wipes her dry eyes, Trudy coaxes her to shed her tears of mourning for her dead mother. At tea, Peter begins to come out of his depression and relate to the other children. Later, John helps bathe the children and Margaret and Peter both vie for his attention. After the children are put to bed, the rumbling bombers strike and John comforts the panicked Margaret. That night, the city is enveloped in flames following a bombing raid. As John and Allison prowl the streets in search of a story, John comes upon a woman carrying the lifeless body of her child. His anger aroused by the atrocities of war, John becomes revitalized and goes to see Margaret and Peter. There, Trudy tells John that the children are being sent to meet their prospective foster parents, the Barries, and asks John to take them to the Barrie house. Upon arriving at the house, the children cling to John. Although the kindly couple showers them with gifts, Peter and Margaret are morose and after Margaret begs John not to leave her, he takes them back to the orphanage. Deeply perturbed by the children's distress, John cables Nora that he is coming home and asks her permission to adopt the children. He receives a reply from Nora's mother, notifying him that Nora is ill but will undoubtedly want the children. Soon after, John receives a cable from Nora, relating that the notion of a real home with children shocked her back into reality and that she now will welcome the children into their family. When John tries to arrange passage for the children back to the U.S. however, he discovers that the plane for the first leg of the journey, from London to Portugal, is completely full. When he proposes asking one of the passengers to relinquish their baggage allowance so that both children can travel on the flight, Susan Fleming of the British Ministry of Information provides him with a list of the passengers. When all eight travelers either cannot or will not respond to his pleas, John is forced to leave behind one of the children and Trudy insists that an intelligence test should determine which lucky child will accompany him. After Margaret scores highest on the test, Peter, dejected, retreats into his shell. As John and Margaret board the train for the airport, Margaret, who at first is angry at John, breaks down in tears at the idea of leaving Peter behind and calls John "Daddy." At the airport, John and Margaret are walking toward the terminal when a car carrying Mrs. Bailey, one of the passengers, appears and Peter climbs out. The elderly Mrs. Bailey then explains that she has foresaken her baggage so that Peter can fly to Portugal and there board the ship bound for America and a new life. As their ship approaches New York, the children are thrilled by the glistening lights of the city. Nora tearfully greets her new family aboard the boat, and when the air raid sirens wail and the lights slowly blink out, Nora assures the children that they will go on once the war is over, never to be extinguished again.

Hosted Intro
The film opens with the following written prologue: "The Margaret of this story is real. She hopes, with the rest of us, for ever lasting peace after the war is won. This picture is dedicated to her. This is a small dedication. The great dedication is being made by millions of men and women who are fighting on far-flung battlefronts for all the Margarets of the world." According to a November 1941 Hollywood Reporter news item, William L. White's novel was based on an account by the author and his wife of their experiences adopting an orphan in London where White worked as an American correspondent during the London blitz. According to M-G-M production notes contained in the AMPAS Library file on the film, White's factual account of the adoption had been previously published in Reader's Digest and Life . The opening onscreen credit order varies slightly from that of the closing credits. Margaret O'Brien's opening credit reads "and presenting Margaret O'Brien as Margaret" and appears after William Severn's name. Although Hollywood Reporter production charts list Herbert Kline as director during the first two weeks of production, he was then replaced by W. S. Van Dyke. According to a June 9, 1942 Hollywood Reporter news item, Kline wanted Dorothy Comingore for the role of "Anya." Although CBCS, Hollywood Reporter production charts and news items list Signe Hasso in the role of Anya, neither she nor the character appeared in the released film. Journey for Margaret would have marked the American motion picture debut of the Swedish-born Hasso, but her first appearance was in the 1943 M-G-M film Assignment in Brittany in 1943. A March 1942 Hollywood Reporter news item adds that Carolyn Lee was considered for a lead in the film. An M-G-M news item hat Sam Marx was originally to produce the picture. Although various Hollywood Reporter news items add George Kirby, Mary Alice Moore, Tom Murray, Bud Penny, Arthur Lovejoy and Ginny Wren to the cast, their appearance in the released film has not been confirmed.

Review by PUNQ ★★★
Like with Joe Smith, American (1942) , Robert Young is put in a film which is more a educational story. This time dealing with something as special as child trauma in wartime. We basically get introduced to various states and ways a child reacts to the horrors she's experienced. The children are amazing, and it's through them you understand how terrible war is. Perhaps not the most fulfilling movie about the war, but still very valuable.
Review by kitsunegari101 ★★★★½
no no it's fine i've just got a bit of movie about traumatized kids during the london blitz finding a good home where they're loved and treated like actual people in my eye
(going to tear margaret's and peter's previous foster parents a new one for abusing kids who've gone through hell)
Review by e🌸 ★★★½
I would have been sobbing in the theatre in 1942
Review by Moriah ★★★½
"It's what we're always looking for. Links for these little chains."
As a whole this is very much a war picture, like every other war picture of the 1940's. The propaganda is very evident. I think the thing that set this one apart for me was that it actually showed the horror that the war was creating in London. A scene that absolutely floored me was the woman carrying her dead child around, making herself believe her child was just sleeping. It was devastating to watch.
Not only did this touch on the horror of the war in London, but the misplacement and trauma it caused for the children at the time. The children orphaned by WWII are the hearts…
Review by Evelyn Rose
The times finally catching up to MGM and one of its trusted directors of cheery product, W.S. Van Dyke. "What are you mad at?," asks American journalist Robert Young early on. "I'm mad at 1940," replies his wife Laraine Day. They've become embrangled in the London Blitz, and the pregnant Day loses their nascent baby to a shrapnel wound. All is wrong in the world, until they're introduced, as are Hollywood audiences, to orphan Margaret O'Brien. It was O'Brien's first major role, and she lights up the screen. Don't get me wrong, the script is heavy and grim, unflinchingly reflecting on the traumatic impact of war on children. But through it all O'Brien radiates a spirit of uplift, and that makes this a warm picture for all that. It also helps that Laraine Day's luscious hair and impassioned speeches have me wishing she was the mother of my children.
Review by russman ★★★
Get Margaret a different hat
Review by Melody ★★★★★
“What are you mad at? “I’m mad at 1940."
[wearing a gas mask] “The next generation will probably grow to look like this.”
“Do you want to cry Margaret? Do you want to cry dear? Because if you do, why don’t you? “You won't smack me if I beller?”
"Margaret weighs 39 pounds, bomb included!"
"This war isn't being fought for us any longer. It's being fought for these children."
"Look at all the stars in America!" "It's Christmas! It's Christmas!" "Those are the lights of New York City. Just like Lon- Haven't you children ever seen a city with its lights on?" "Why's it got lights on?"
God she was something else from the start. I wasn't sure how…

If you’ve watched Netflix’s new documentary about the Arkansas jail, here’s where the Unlocked: A Jail Experiment cast is now . The series follows a cast of inmates who are given more freedomwhen unit cells are unlocked for six weeks, and detainees create community and structure for themselves.
Leading the experiment is Arkansas sheriff Eric Higgins. “The deputies are inside the unit with detainees,” Sheriff Higgins told Netflix Tudum about the structure of the show . Higgins says that for Unlocked, his goal was to create an environment with less direct supervision.
“We thought, ‘What can we do to create some ownership for those detainees in that unit?” Higgins says. “How do we make the facility safer, and what can we do to still hold them accountable but empower them at the same time?’”
“In this country, we have a certain perception of someone who goes to jail — the assumption being that they’re guilty,” Higgins says of the carceral system. “But they deserve dignity. These individuals, they’re fathers, they’re uncles, they’re sons. People care about them … they’re not just a number. I believe that if you treat people right, and you hold them accountable… I think they take that with them when they walk out of this facility. I think we have proven that people will rise to the expectation.”

- Deputy Kimberly Wainwright
- Deputy Jessie Owens
- Deputy Tatyana Dean
- Sergeant Deosha White
- Deputy Raul Arce
- Deputy Te’Andre Butler
- Deputy Aretha Black
Deputy Wainwright
Deputy Kimberly Wainwright is still employed at the detention center.
Lieutenant Atwood
Lieutenant Atwood is still employed at the detention facility.
Lieutenant Freeman
Lieutenant Freeman is still employed at the detention facility.
Captain Calvin
Captain Calvin is still employed at the detention facility.
Sheriff Eric Higgins
Sheriff Eric Higgins is still employed at the detention facility. As the mastermind behind the series, he told Netflix Tudum. “Our re-entry unit is for detainees who want help with their addiction or other issues they’re dealing with,” Higgins explains. “There’s an interview process — it’s an open-barrack unit, and it’s the safest in our facility. The behavior is better, it was safer, and the facility was cleaner, because they took ownership. Looking at this experiment, we wondered if that was something we could implement; if we could take a typical unit and modify behavior based on a system of responsibility and benefits.”
Were the inmates paid for Unlocked: A Jail Experiment?
The inmates were not paid for their appearance in Unlocked: A Jail Experiment . According to KATV, Higgins said there was compensation given for participating in the show in the amount of $60,000 made payable to the Pulaski County Government. Higgins said in his response the check was given to the finance director on March 28, 2024, and given to the comptroller’s office which was received that same day.Two PCSO employees were compensated as well for their off-duty hours, getting paid $40 per hour. No other compensation was given to participants.
Was Unlocked: A Jail Experiment Illegal?
According to Higgins himself, the experiment followed all protocols and policies.
However, Daily Mail reported that Higgins may have illegally signed a contract with Lucky 8 in the August 15, 2022, release form allowing the crew to film inside the jail. The only person who’s allowed to sign those legally binding contracts is Judge Barry Hyde. “It doesn’t matter what they thought it was. It’s a contract,” he told the gossip news site. “My primary concern now and always has been that the sheriff stepped outside of his authority by signing a contract he doesn’t have authority to sign.
“The only person, by state law, who can legally bind the county into a contract is the county judge,” he reiterated. “The question now is: how are we going to resolve the issue of an illegal contract? We are exploring that at this time.”
Was Unlocked: A Jail Experiment real?
Yes, Unlocked: A Jail Experiment was real. The show was unscripted and hidden cameras were put all over the jail for the series.
“Our re-entry unit is for detainees who want help with their addiction or other issues they’re dealing with,” Higgins explained about the unit. “There’s an interview process — it’s an open-barrack unit, and it’s the safest in our facility. The behavior is better, it was safer, and the facility was cleaner, because they took ownership. Looking at this experiment, we wondered if that was something we could implement; if we could take a typical unit and modify behavior based on a system of responsibility and benefits.”
Before the series even began, Higgins explained that the experiment was entirely voluntary. “We had an empty unit that was easy to move people in if they wanted to be part of this,” Higgins says. “Detainees were made aware by the production company that they were going to be recording, and we checked to see if they wanted to be there. At any given time, a person could leave [the experimental unit].”

- Trivia Alex Garland told a reporter at the premiere that the pairing of California and Texas was, in part, to obfuscate the politics but more importantly, that these two states put aside political differences to challenge an unconstitutional, fascistic and corrupt president who is killing American civilians. He said, "Are you saying extremist politics would always remain more important than a president of this sort? That sounds crazy to me."
