Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: C+ --
In this adaptation of Inge's play, Daniel Mann, a specialist of melodramas, gets a good performance from Shirely Booth as a self-pitying housewife but a misguided one from Burt Lancaster.

Rating: C --
Nothing comes alive at you. Nothing roots us to the Delaneys, and in turn nothing grounds them in any world except that of Inge's creaky schemata.

[T]he real value of this film lies in Shirley Booth, whose flawless, heart-tearing performance is worth every square inch of the Best Actress Oscar she won for giving it.
Premiere
Rating: 5/5 --
This is Booth's movie as was the Broadway production. Dynamic.

Come Back, Little Sheba is a faithful reproduction of the stage play, together with its assets and liabilities.

Product Description:
An attractive female boarder (Terry Moore) stirs the barely-hidden seeds of contempt between a tired, disappointed housewife (Shirley Booth) and her washed-up, alcoholic doctor husband (Burt Lancaster). Great performances bring William Inge's intense 1950 stage play of broken dreams and marital resentment to life on the big screen, garnering Booth a well-deserved Academy Award for Best Actress and a nomination for Moore as Best Supporting Actress.
