In my opinion, Gena Rowlands is "Gloria". She should have won best actress for this one. It is the type of movie you can view over and over again and never be bored. The little boy who was cast as "Phil" was wonderful in his role as the orphaned lost boy. Everyone who was cast in this film was made for their part. I ordered the film as a welcome addition to my collection of great movies. Don't miss this one. LynnMarie
