A middle-aged misfit struggles to raise her daughters, one popular and the other a promising science student, in this Paul Newman-directed adaptation of Paul Zindel’s Pulitzer Prize winning play.
“Paul Newman again surprises (along with u0026quot;Rachel, Rachelu0026quot;) as Joanne Woodward is presented in the unglamorous role of Beatrice Hunsdorfer, a bitter widow living on the fringe in an anonymous Connecticut suburb.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNell Potts and Roberta Wallach in diametrically opposed roles, Ruth, the epileptic popular daughter, and Mathilda, the science-project sensitive daughter who relates to her pet rabbit.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhile some is a bit overdone it is no stretch to imagine a bored housewife trying to make ends meet; Woodward is sympathetic and annoying at the same time. A brilliant performance.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis film was made in 1972 and it would truly amazing to see real character portrayals in film again. Today we have to visit the theater for such affecting performances. Well worth more than one viewing. 9/10.”
