Homosexuality was a taboo subject in 1956 Hollywood. So it was a chaIlenge for screenwriter Robert Anderson to adapt his hit Broadway play about a sensitive prepschooler caIled "sister boy" by his peers, and the lovely housemaster's wife who realizes she must offer more than tea and sympathy to heIp the boy prove his manhood. The frankness may be muted but the power remains in this stelIar fiIm. Under Vincente MinnelIi's direction, Deborah Kerr and John Kerr reprise their Broadway roles as oIder woman and younger man in poignant performances that reveal the compassion and the torment of being human. Their stage costar Leif Erickson joins them in counterpoint as the emotionally clenched housemaster. |
