This first movie version of the Tennessee Williams play about a faded, aging Southern belle, her shy, crippled daughter and her "selfish dreamer" of a son more or less sticks to the original story, except for a compromise ending which strives to be more upbeat.

    The mother is so harpy that it almost makes the film unwatchable. This film doesn't hold up to the passing of time, but the acting is decent.
