Movie Reviews of Come Back, Little Sheba
Movie Review: Outstanding
Summary: 5 Stars
To those who only know Shirley Booth by Hazel this is a must see. Her other classic movie Hot Spell shows a similar dramatic flair. Booth shines as a a woman who is caught in circumstances and is forced to live with them. The funny thing is the circumstances didn't and shouldn't have been.
We see Lola coping by trying to relive her youth through her border while her husband copes by simply ignoring or forgetting the past (through his drinking).
Shirley Booth only made four movies and this is a must see.
Movie Review: sensational movie
Summary: 5 Stars
this movie is one of the most powerful and under appreciated movies of all times. the wonderful and heartbreaking performance of shirley booth is sure to wrench the heart. burt lancaster's character tries mightily to hold on to his tenuous sobriety as he looks back on what his life was and what it could have been. there are so many layers to this movie and the dialogue is poetic and frank, especially for 1952. this is due to the fantastic playwright william inge and the clever adaptation by ketti frings. a must see.Movie Review: Come Back, Little Sheba
Summary: 5 Stars
Based on a William Inge play, the wondrous "Sheba" soars on the strength of character actress Booth's wrenching portrayal of the lonely, used-up Lola, a role for which she deservedly won Best Actress over established stars Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, and Susan Hayward. Lancaster is clearly too young for the part of Doc, but bless him, he still brings it off in the end, with his drunk scenes particularly frightening. Overall though, watch this for Booth- she will literally break your heart.Movie Review: Anyone who suffered with alcoholism in the family should see this
Summary: 5 Stars
As a young girl I saw this movie knowing the absolute inside messages it was relaying to the audience. The holding of secrets and the constant approval seeking. Excellent work by Shirley Booth as a co-dependent desparately trying to make sense out of the situation she had placed herself into. The main character's dreams of the dog, how excellent was that. Anyone who has suffered in a home of alcoholism has to see this movie. It tells everyone's story to the letter.Movie Review: Tragic Drama
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this film in 1952. It is so sad, so tragic. Shirley Booth's performance is unmatched. I think her performance is more dimensional than Vivien Leigh in Street Car Named Desire. Both of this film ending left me left so despressed, I try not to think about it.
I could never watch this DVD. I remember almost every scene from all those years ago and Booth just ripped my heart out of my chest.
