...county borders. She was "a poet of a kind but deeply suppressed. She might have been an Emily Dickinson in another culture." In the simple TV tale, she coddles young "Buddy" (as Capote is called) and tries to shield him from his dour and insensitive relatives in the parentless household. The casting, supervised by the author, is impeccable. Geraldine Page, who won an Emmy award as Miss Sook in Christmas Memory, returns in what Capote calls "one of the greatest performances I've ever seen."

...course, Argan is in perfectly good health, his hypochondria being simply the most obvious out-growth of his tyrannical self-assertion over the members of his household. His tyranny becomes critical when, early in the play, it brings him into opposition with his daughter's plans to marry. The daughter, Angelique, wants to marry Cleante, but Argan, without consulting her, arranges for her marriage to Thomas Diafoirus, the son of one of his doctors. Needless to say, Cleante is a young Achilles, and Thomas Diafoirus a big booby. Throughout the first three quarters of the play, Argan perseveres...
