The second film production of Tennessee William's 1959 play does not live up to earlier productions. While ambitious, much of the play's symbolism and underlying tones have been dropped. Chief is the elimination of the setting of Easter Sunday and the key speeches bringing the audience's recognition into bearing and time as the enemy of everyone. What remains is the melodrama of a failing, aging movie star who takes up with an ambitious masseur who takes her home only to show off in front of his former girl friend and her powerful father.
