i take this out arbitrarily from the library the other night and have no idea of the film cult and influence and or that it be currently be stag a a musical . ( . ) most of the comment here be on target and it move and funny and sad and and yes and a tad exploitive despite the best intention of the filmmaker . the expanded chriterion edition be a must for anyone who love it when it come out . i think you can also see in little edie the fall of a class that sort of disappeared and you can hear it in old film of jackie o too while people just do not talk like that anymore . i think a a documentary and it would have be interest to get more information about how the home fell into disrepute and old edie at least still seem aware of what go on to a certain degree while couldn not she see the once spectacular home disintegrating . yet the film subject be the life the two woman have construct for themselves now and a real life tennesse williams one act . well worth your time .
