Sharing the limelight with Seltzer is Nancy Gustafson as Patience, the pure-hearted, affectation-hating country girl. Clad in a yellow and white dirndle, Gustafson acts the part with a winsome wholesomeness and devotion to duty. Her scenes with Archibald, particularly when she alternately begs him to "think of me sometimes" and warns him to "think of me sometimes" and warns him to "advance at your peril," are especially fine.

...ineffectual old radical whose one positive act is a negative sacrifice, Morris Carnovsky strikes just the perfect understated note of pathos as Jacob, the part he played almost forty years ago in the original Group Theater production. As the domineering Jewish mother with implacable bourgeois aspirations, Carol Gustafson succeeds as the dislikable antagonist Bessie Berger with a tongue and manner as commanding as any lower-middle class Jewish mother struggling for the good life in America.
