______________________________________________________

a powerful drama. very "wow" performances by both of the stars, however i feel this was Shirley MacLaine's show. heart-wrenching story of extreme internal and external conflict. a powerful portrayal of how deception - especially when children are involved - as well as the truth, and discrimination can destroy people. a must see classic based on Lillian Hellman's 1934 play.
