Come Back Little Sheba - The Memorable TV DVD Review

When Lola Delaney takes in a new boarder, the charming Marie (Terry Moore), it brings matter to a head in the relationship she has with her husband Doc.

SO IS IT ANY GOOD?

Based on William Inge's classic play Come Back Little Sheba is a classic slice of kitchen sink realism from a time when Hollywood was trying to push the boundaries a little. Shirley Booth recreates the role of Lola Delaney which she had created in the stage version, and so successful was she that she garnered herself an Oscar for her first ever movie appearance.

This is a superb movie, looking crisper than ever in a nice new black and white print, as new boarder Marie acts as a catalyst for great change in the Delaney's marriage.

You can sense the tension building up throughout Lanacaster's typically brilliant portrayal of quiet recovering alcoholic "Doc" and when he does lose it the power is overwhelming.

Yes at times the stage origins of the movie are evident, especially in some lengthy dialogue scenes but this doesn't detract at all from the overall feel of Sheba's power. A must see
