The very best of Tennessee Williams. This movie is bitingly bitter, endearing, funny and sexy all at the same time. Elizabeth Taylor proves she's a real actress and is at the height of her beauty. Newman is Newman. Perfect. The supporting cast are perfect in their roles.

It doesn't get any better than this.

I've never seen a film with Jean Arthur that wasn't watchable. She is delightful in this but she doesn't get the great lines and situations of her bigger known roles.

This film is a typical depression era distracting film. It served its purpose and is worth a watch as a time capsule and entertainment.

Connie Francis was an amazing singer and a very charming, charismatic and pretty lady. She's always entertaining and watchable. It is a shame they didn't get her a decent script. Except for the title song, they didn't even bother getting her some good songs to sing! MGM did give her a stunning wardrobe.

The rest of the cast is very pretty. All of her costars from Where the Boys Are have a one minute cameo with nothing to do but be gorgeous.

There are much worse ways to spend 90 minutes.
