A really good story of people whose lives have not lived up to their dreams. Shirley Booth is fantastic and Burt Lancaster gives his usual great performance playing a character which is markedly different to any role he has played before. He is an alcoholic who uses alcohol to cope with his life, married to someone, he does not really want to be with. They are two completely different people, not suited to each other. He feels his life has not been fulfilled and she is a simple woman who sees what she wants to see and makes the best of everything. A young woman comes to board with them and brings a breath of fresh air and they are happy feeling she is like a daughter for them. When her young boyfriend comes on the scene, Doc (Burt Lancaster) gets jealous and then problems occur.

If you like to see a film that makes you *feel* something - about real people and real possibilities - you cannot go wrong with Connie Booth’s amazing performance here. Sad and yet hopeful at the same time I really felt for the characters and was moved to tears at times. I rate this movie 10/10
