In E.T., Dee Wallace has some quietly affecting scenes as Elliott's mother, who cannot quite hide from her children the ache of loneliness at her husband's desertion. In Spielberg's previous features, only one actor (Melinda Dillon, in Close Encounters) was nominated for an Academy Award.

Toward the end of the play, it becomes evident that Plume is not a womanizing gourmand, as he pretends to the world, but a moonstruck child of sentiment who has found in the chaste but frolicsome Silvia his true heart...
