i really felt the movie be ahead of it time . the one potential daughter in law be such a strong and career orient woman . she know what she want and be diplomatic but firm with the over bearing mother in law to be . the mother role be play extremely well ( you just love to hate her ) . her need to control her son life be neurotically evil . if you have ever be in a relationship where you have be judge and find lacking ( and everybody involve know it ) this may hit too close to home . it be year since i saw this movie and i remember think that this plot and dialog would work in a 50 or 60 movie . it be difficult to watch because of the mother and son dynamic but i would love to watch it again . i keep hop to find it on one of the old movie channel but so far no luck . attempt to buy it be also futile ( i do not believe it on tape or dvd ) .
