The Glass Menagerie
1950 · Movie · 107 min. · United States
This first movie version of the Tennessee Williams play about a faded, aging Southern belle Amanda Wingfield (Gertrude Lawrence), her shy, crippled daughter Laura (Jane Wyman) and her "selfish dreamer" of a son Tom (Arthur Kennedy) more or less sticks to the original story, except for a compromise ending which strives to be more upbeat.
