Chris I also LOVED the version w Shirley Booth and Burt Lancaster, but in this scene where Joanne calls her parents for some comfort ,She was AWESOME, even maybe alittle more dramatic.
I preferred the 1952 version w/Shirley Booth and Burt Lancaster. The acting was much more powerful and realistic! I really liked the scene where Doc comes home drunk after Marie and Bruce have left and starts fighting with Lola. I really loved Shirley and Burt's performances!
@sexysagi The 1952 version ending is in misconception of the play and it is clear that the director did not understand the paly and did instead a Hollywood 'happy end' crap of it. sorry.
I remember this movie back when it first aired on TV. I was just a kid and really wasn't into these "serious" plays. But this one really got me somehow as I still remember it. Seeing it again I realize how great this play, actors are/were.
Thanks for uploading, a fine ensemble piece, the concluding scene was particularly powerful and moving.

I think the original actress (don't know her
name) was better. No offense to Joanne Woodward, but the original actress who played
Joanne's part was absolutely believable and fantastic!!!!!!!!!!

The actress's name was Shirley Booth. She played Hazel the maid.
