one of the few chance to see the great gertrude lawrence on screen . her amanda be so complex and manic and gentele and harsh . a truly great performance that be totally ignore by the academy . arthur kennedy too be compelling a tom . a shame he do not do more william on screen he be one of the major stage interpreter of the man . only jane wyman seem miscast and a bit too character actressy for the subtlty of the role to shine through . too bad and because without a good laura half the play be lose . a good effort that could have be great if they have not use wyman .
