Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })I Remember Mama is a 1948 drama film, directed by George Stevens, from a screenplay by DeWitt Bodeen, based upon the play by John Van Druten (which was itself based on Kathryn Forbes' 1943 novel Mama's Bank Account). The film stars Irene Dunne in the title role; also featured in the cast are Barbara Bel Geddes, Oskar Homolka, Cedric Hardwicke, Philip Dorn, Ellen Corby, Rudy Vallée, and Edgar Bergen.Aspiring writer Katrin Hanson (Bel Geddes) recollects her life growing up in early-20th-century San Francisco with her Norwegian immigrant family, who combine traditional Norwegian values with "modern" American ways. The story centers around Mama (Dunne) and her detailed, pennywise household budget. We follow the Hansons' small joys, sorrows, and aspirations, with the boisterous antics of Uncle Chris (Homolka) serving as counterpoint.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The film received five Academy Award nominations, while Ellen Corby won a Golden Globe for her supporting role as Aunt Trina. A TV adaptation, simply called Mama and starring Peggy Wood in the title role, aired on CBS from 1949–57.

Bookends: In-universe. Katrin's story starts and ends with a description of the family's weekly bookkeeping scene and the line "We do not have to go to the bank."

Accentuate the Negative: Aunt Sigrid tends to do this. When Jenny says Nils is growing tall and Martha says proudly "almost as tall as his papa", all Sigrid can observe is that he's "outgrowing his strength"note meaning he's not getting quite enough to eat — another dig at Martha for not getting Hyde to pay his rent and that Dagmar looks pale. (She's not underfed; she's sick, but we don't find that out until the next sequence.)
