...problems, the problems of a woman young enough to want a man but too old to attract one, are the subject and substance of this picture, an adaptation of the only novel ever published by Playwright Tennessee Williams (TIME, Oct. 30, 1950).

In 1887, at 23, ambitious Willie wheedled the Examiner from his parent. In his very first issue, he ran a tearjerker on Page One about foundlings in a lying-in hospital, together with a juicy story about the trials of one Job Cram-whose affliction was a heavy-drinking wife.
