Katharine Hepburn, one of the great American actresses, stars in this film adaptation of one of the greatest American plays, Tennessee Williams's The Glass Menagerie. Hepburn plays Amanda Wakefield, a faded Southern belle now living in a small urban apartment, where she suffocates her two children--her restless son Tom (a very young Sam Waterston) and her painfully shy daughter Laura (Joanna Miles)--with her incessant mixture of insistent cheer and guilt. After much prodding from Amanda, Tom finally brings home a friend from his workplace, in the hopes that he might strike up a romance with reclusive Laura. The result is one of the sweetest and most heartbreaking scenes ever written. Hepburn's steely will and sudden vulnerability make her ideal for the domineering mother, but the entire cast--including Michael Moriarty as the "gentleman caller"--is superb; Moriarty and Miles deservedly won Emmy awards for their performances. --Bret Fetzer

"The Glass Menagerie" was Tennessee Williams first successful play. The classic film made in 1950, Tennessee Williams hated. They had butchered his play and wrote a new happy ending to please the theater audiences. This filmed Broadway production is an excellent performance true to Tennessee Williams' original play as he wrote it. There is also a 1987 film adaptation of the play starring JoAnn Woodward and John Malchovich, which is true to the play.
In interviews and his memoirs, Tennesee Williams ... Read More

I had to read the book/play for a college literature class. Things just arn't as good when they are 'required'. I personally did not like this, but again, it depends on what you like. This followed actually very closely with the written play. It was a good way to get a better visual idea of what was going on.

As much as I've always loved Katherine Hepburn, I simply couldn't watch this for more than 10 minutes. First, she was too much of a Yankee to portray a southerner convincingly, and second... her voice had deteriorated so much by the time this film was made that it was actually painful to listen to her.

It's rare that filmed versions of great theatre plays come across with a sense of feeling and emotion the reader receives from the book. Made in 1973, this Broadway Threatre Achive features a magnificent performance of Katherine Hepburn, and in my opinion, the only really great performance.
The drama focuses on a family living with their illusions and delusions. Amanda, whose husband deserted the family, is delusional about her past life, the gentleman callers, the ones who got away, She ... Read More

I believe I saw this version first; when it aired on television, and had not been aware that a DVD was now available; gloriously, both terribly sad and exquisitely beautiful with K. Hepburn's and other's fine performances. And, atop my "Wish List." An earlier reviewer asked and I will say that the Jane Wyman and Kirk Douglas 1950 version in DVD-R is also available at joesclassicmovies, I saw an adv. for them on Amazon. This Hepburn version, however, as with much of her particularly later work, if you haven't ... Read More
