Packs a punch still but somehow the ending is unsatisfying. Is it too pat? The young cast threaten to steal the movie from the Delaneys. Shirley Booth's character really doesn't grow throughout the film. In that sense her role is pretty one-dimensional. And Lancaster just doesn't look the part. He is too good-looking and young. The years of self-abuse don't show in his physique. For most of the movie he is subdued and asexual. As a couple they don't seem to fit. (viewed 8/16)
