@UrPimpinGrandpa Can you help me? I am trying to collect some ideas for an alternative ending to this play/movie and I can't think of any. Or what do you think happens to the characters after the play? For example does Tom come back? Jim return? Please help!
I remember watching this on tv when it was first on tv when I was 10 years old and thinking how sad it was. Seeing it now the first thing that struck me was how old the actress who played Laura looked and how heavy her eyeliner was.

Among the most prominent and urgent themes of The Glass Menagerie is the difficulty the characters have in accepting and relating to reality. Each member of the Wingfield family is unable to overcome this difficulty, and each, as a result, withdraws into a private world of illusion where he or she finds the comfort and meaning that the real world does not seem to offer.
thanks but wow, his wish a secret...in that era for a man to make wishes on rising moons which is secret. the act says a lot more than the wish itself? tragic that he leaves his mom/sis all alone? his happiness was a lot more important than theirs? or he is not strong enough to get what she wants? That mother wants a son to make her &daughter happy...when happiness was never meant for them?
vahzuxa, love them too, notice also that she plays that realist not willing to accept her tragic world, and he the idealist not strong enough to change his mom's world? we should also give thanks to who selected such important part of play. Poor woman, no man next to her(something important in that era), a weak daughter and son(her view), and she is soon to reach the autumn days of her live with a son who has secret wishes. A rather tragic existence for that era.
Tomorrow!

@StarTrekker711 The play is set in 1937, so $0.15 in 1937 is equal to $2.27 in 2011....still very cheap compare to the prices now!

Katherine Hepburn was awesome....Sam Waterston looks really young. Guess it's because I'm not used to seeing him young.

Katharine Hepburn's such a great actress. She makes the actor that plays Tom look like a second rate actor.

I really liked reading the play, but am I the only one who thinks Amanda looks like an older Michael Jackson?

I saw this as a kid with my Grandmother and we were both so moved. I think Kate Hepburn was so great in this role,

This is the best filmed version of Menagerie ever. (Ironic that the two future L&O prosecutors are featured.)

Katharine Hepburn was the greatest actress! I really want to see this entire movie. I cannot find it online though.
