VHS Movie Reviews of Glass Menagerie, The
Movie Review: Dealing with Severe Social Isolation
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a somewhat sad story. A woman and her adult daughter Laura live an extremely reclusive life, and do so in a dark, cheerless flat. Perhaps the most memorable part of the story is when a gentleman caller comes. He wants to go out with Laura, to whom he says: "Did anyone tell you that you are beautiful?" Upon learning that she has never dated, he says: "That's all the more reason that you should go."
Summary of Glass Menagerie, The
Paul Newman directed this poetic, sunlight- and memory-drenched film version of Tennessee Williams's classic memory play. The casting is surprisingly adept, considering that several of the performers would seem to be too old for their roles. John Malkovich plays Williams's stand-in, Tom Wingfield, a dreamer who lives with his domineering mother Amanda (a luminous Joanne Woodward) and his fragile, limping sister Laura (Karen Allen). Mom wants nothing more than to marry off shy-flower Laura and keeps bugging Tom to bring home a guy. So he corrals coworker James Naughton for an evening--and Amanda treats it as though Naughton's signed up for the nuptial short-course. Woodward is alternately touching and harridan-like as this smothering mother who means well, while Malkovich is perfect as the would-be writer longing to break free. And Allen brings surprising strength to the role of Laura. --Marshall FineDrama VHS Video
