The Glass Menagerie

Four Academy Award predictions! Jane Wyman, Kirk Douglas, Gertrude Lawrence, Arthur Kennedy

This first movie version of the Tennessee Williams play about a faded, aging Southern belle, her shy, crippled daughter and her 'selfish dreamer' of a son more or less sticks to the original story, except for a compromise ending which strives to be more upbeat.
