First comes the dutiful wife (Jessica Tandy) with her 50-year badge of marital honor. Then there is the earthy, pleasure-giving mistress (Colleen Dewhurst), the sympathetic lawyer friend (George Voskovec), a hostile daughter (Madeleine Sherwood) and a remorse-laden son (lames Ray).

Unlike a good family fight, a bad one sounds dull, mean and petty, though Colleen Dewhurst as the whoring sister gives a performance that is etched in sulfuric acid...
...play destroyed. Somehow a copy survived, and has been subjected to the surgery of José Quintero, who manages to make the great U.S. dramatist appear as inept as a summer-stock apprentice. As a husband, wife, and mother fencing for one another's love, Arthur Hill, Colleen Dewhurst and Ingrid Bergman all appear lost in a disenchanted forest...
