Accessible and tear-jerking studio outing from director, and American indie legend, John Cassavetes. While his creative juices were curtailed when he was allegedly fired by Stanley Kramer during the edit, Cassavetes skill as a director comes through in the wonderful performances and direction that keep this movie clear of overtly hammy melodramatic blunders. Garland was never better and while this may not have fulfilled the director's full vision it is proof that, even early in his career and under the shackles of 'the system', Cassavetes was one of America's brightest and most interesting directing talents.

Lancaster seems to be preparing for or continuing his portrayel of Don Fabrizzio. Other than that, the film is less interesting.

Burt Lancaster delivers a firm, sincere, persuasive and unaffected performance.

Dave Kehr 01 Jan 2000

John Cassavetes takes a shot at straight commercial filmmaking (1963), and the results are a little wide of the mark.

Overly sentimental but also very simplistic, in a good way. Judy garland gives a sincere and subdued performance, very believable and real. Burt Lancaster is a little too intense and severe. Good acting by the whole cast. Sweet and well meaning.
