    • Goofs
      Jane Fonda, wanting to be reassured and comforted, telephones her father, tells him she has just been married, and cries. There is no explanation of why her parents have not been at the wedding, or even been told about it before this, and it is puzzling that they have not been if she is on affectionate terms with them.
    • Quotes

      Ralph Baitz: The human heart could never pass the drunk test. Take a human heart out of a human body, put legs on it and tell it to walk a straight line, and it couldn't. The heart could never pass a drunk test.

    Another great Tennessee Williams adaptation

    I fell in love with this movie the first time I saw it on TCM. I've always liked Jane Fonda, she is great in this picture. Its well acted and filmed. Its a beautiful movie. I liked the realistic look of the film. In digital it looked brand new, it looked as if it was modern film shot in B&W. Basically its about a couple having marriage problems. Its mostly a one scene shoot with a lot of dialogue. I really enjoyed it, like all Tennessee Williams play adaptations. This is a great movie for repeat viewing.
