A lot of stuff from more recent years or even more recent decades are still unable to touch the old black and white classics from way back when that were directed by Hitchcock!  |
Very true

COME BACK, LITTLE SHEBA (1952). Shirley Booth ,("Hazel" herself from the later TV show) won an Oscar for her role as a slovenly Dingbatted housewife married to a recovering alcoholic, well played by Burt Lancaster (who, truth be told, even with the makeup, he still looks too young for the role). They both have grown stale and complacent with one another until a Student from the local University rents a room. Terry Moore (MIGHTY JOE YOUNG) is quite fetching here and pretty frisky as well...although she mentions a serious boyfriend, she still finds time to make time with a young Richard Jackel...their makeout sessions are pretty intense.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>POSSIBLE SPOILERS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Although Booth will remind You as an Edith Bunker type, stay with it and some marvelous acting from Her as more of the back story emerges and the importance of "Little Sheba" comes to light. Also, due to misunderstanding, Lancaster falls off the wagon and he is frightening in the scene when he returns home, revealing his true feelings...the resentment and loathing from him will hit You like a fist and your heart will truly go out to Booth. ****
