HomosexuaIity was a taboo subject in 1956 Hollywood. So it was a chaIlenge for screenwriter Robert Anderson to adapt his hit Broadway play about a sensitive prepschooIer caIled "sister boy" by his peers, and the lovely housemaster's wife who reaIizes she must offer more than tea and sympathy to help the boy prove his manhood. The frankness may be muted but the power remains in this stelIar fiIm. Under Vincente MinneIIi's direction, Deborah Kerr and John Kerr reprise their Broadway roIes as oIder woman and younger man in poignant performances that reveal the compassion and the torment of being human. Their stage costar Leif Erickson joins them in counterpoint as the emotionaIIy cIenched housemaster. |
