***Spoilers***I believe when this movie was being made, Mrs. Ball could not let it have a sad ending. Florabelle finally finds a home after years of wandering with the help of a social worker who puts forth some effort to help her. The movie does do a good job of showing the plight of homeless people and the lack of caring shown by regular people who see them but do nothing to help. Your heart does go out to Florabelle. Many times in the movie reference is made to a missing son who is never found in the time frame of the movie. Also a husband who left and is never located. Florabelle has a good heart but many bad things happen to her. Finally near the end of the movie the social worker is able to help her find a home and start getting social security checks again. So there is some happy ending but not total. This movie has always been on my mind a lot, I live alone myself and worry about my situation and becoming homeless. Sad that such a condition has to exist in such a wealthy country. I also, have some relatives who don't seem to care much what happens to me. So I can identify with her character. We all need to help the guy on the curb. He is your father, brother, son or uncle when you think about it.
