Kehr zurück, kleine Sheba (1952)

Kehr zurück, kleine Sheba: Directed by Daniel Mann. With Burt Lancaster, Shirley Booth, Terry Moore, Richard Jaeckel. An emotionally remote recovering alcoholic and his dowdy, unambitious wife face a personal crisis when they take in an attractive lodger.

“Shirley Boothu0026#39;s performance in this movie is one of the best Iu0026#39;ve seen.From the moment she appears as Lola Delaney you know almost everything you need to know about her character.Itu0026#39;s quite rare that I get moved to tears by a performance,but Shirley Booth managed that feat. She conveys all the emotions of a simple woman whou0026#39;s life didnu0026#39;t turn out the way she dreamed and her realization that the springtime of her life has long gone.Burt Lancaster might have been a bit young for the part of Doc Delaney,but I think heu0026#39;s really good and powerful and frightening in the drunk-scene.Terry Moore was a charming acquaintance for me.Her performance was quite assured and natural. Although this movie is more like a filmed play, I enjoyed it a lot.”
