Movie Reviews

EmanuelLevy.Com - 9/10 by Emanuel LevyIn this adaptation of Inge's play, Daniel Mann, a specialist of melodramas, gets a good performance from Shirely Booth as a self-pitying housewife but a misguided one from Burt Lancaster.
Nick's Flick Picks - 8/10 by Nick DavisNothing comes alive at you. Nothing roots us to the Delaneys, and in turn nothing grounds them in any world except that of Inge's creaky schemata.
Kansas City Kansan - 8/10 by Steve CrumThis is Booth's movie as was the Broadway production. Dynamic.
User Review - 10/10 by Tyler WThis is a play by Inge and Shirley Booth won an Academy award for her performance. I love the story, love the language, is definitely an oldie worth seeing.
User Review - 10/10 by John TI am perplexed that so many Flixster reviewers misunderstand this movie. It's about coming to terms with disappointment and making life worthwhile. Not just Lola (Shirley Booth's character) but all the film's principals are forced to face up to an emotional crisis, move past it, and get on with their lives. Of course the power of a movie is determined by how compellingly it tells a story. The story here is well worth the telling, and it is well told.
User Review - 10/10 by Ice RHeartbreaking film.....Booth is excellent.
User Review - 10/10 by Charmaine JNothing explodes, no one gets killed and there is no trace of CGI. All we have is a very beautiful story, beautifully played. Shirley Booth's portrayal of Lola Delaney is the kind of performance you savour every line of. The 15 minute mark, where little Sheba is first mentioned is so sad you'll carry the dialogue with you forever. Shirley won a well deserved Oscar for this fantastic performance, and it isn't hard to see why.
User Review - 10/10 by Christopher EBurt Lancaster is good but this deeply moving study of alcoholism really becomes a tribute to Shirley Booth, who gives one of the great performances in an american film and needless to say won an Oscar for it.
User Review - 10/10 by Erin MShirley Booth gives one of the great screen performances of American film history, and Burt Lancaster isn't too shabby, either.
User Review - 10/10 by Itay LOne of the best oldies ever, Shirley Booth giving a stunning perforamnce which doesn't seemto have lost any of its power through the years.
