I see this movie again and again as it comes on periodically.
If you want to see a great story, greater writing, and greater acting from Shirley Booth, see this.
Shirley Booth won a Tony and an Academy Award for her role. They should have given her 5, each. One of the finest performances ever.
Ever.
Make that 10, each.
To see her performance is to understand where the benchmark of acting starts.
See this. One of the finer exposures on alcoholism within family.
