1958 Spectator 18 July 85/3 Chicken Soup with Barley..is an East End Jewish weepie.

1962 Times 14 May 14/1 An all-out weepy is the only possible description for Girl in a Birdcage.

1977 D. Francis Risk xvi. 207 How much easier if the miscreant would confess..a sentimental solution..which happened only in weepie films.

1984 Listener 5 July 35/1 ‘Weepies’ come in all shapes and sizes. Ostensibly they are women's pictures, because only women cry at them, right?
