==Reception==
The film was positively reviewed by critics. When the film premiered at [[Radio City Music Hall]], [[Bosley Crowther]] of ''The New York Times'' wrote that filmgoers willing to sit through the long running time "will find the film a source of much emotional satisfaction; others of less Spartan stamp will certainly protest that it wears out their patience in the telling of a comparatively uncomplicated tale. For the Warners are here handing out a tear-laden old-fashioned drama—and a very heavy one, too."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=9903EEDA123EE432A25756C0A9619C946193D6CF|title=Movie Review - All This, and Heaven Too|last=Crowther|first=Bosley|author-link=Bosley Crowther|date=July 5, 1940|website=[[The New York Times]]|access-date=December 2, 2015}}</ref>
