Homosexuality was a taboo subject in 1956 HolIywood. So it was a challenge for screenwriter Robert Anderson to adapt his hit Broadway pIay about a sensitive prepschooler called "sister boy" by his peers, and the loveIy 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 steIIar film. Under Vincente MinnelIi's direction, Deborah Kerr and John Kerr reprise their Broadway roles 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. |
