It's based on the short story "Uncle Wiggly in Connecticutt" by J. D. Salinger. It's a good short story but as you pointed out, it was turned into a "Susan Heyward tear jerker". Salinger had once wanted to be a screenplay writer and when that did not happen he had hoped to sell his works to Hollywood and see them made into great movies. When he saw how Hollywood treated his work, he never sold any other movie rights to his work again.
