...what they are looking at is a very expensive movie set, Bergman's passionate fidelity to her part saves the day. Fine supporting actors play the Dauphin (Jose Ferrer), the Count of Luxembourg (J. Carrol Naish), the Bishop of Beauvais (Francis L. Sullivan) and Joan's bailiff (Shepperd Strudwick...
Playwright Hart has tried manfully to grapple with these problems. He has filled things out by carefully documenting his situation-by tracing the causes of the divorce, dramatizing the refusal of either parent to hand Chris (Richard Tyler) over to the other, having both parents (Martha Sleeper, Shepperd Strudwick) appeal to the boy.

It shows the customary travail of a boy growing up; the teacher's wisdom grooving his bright young talents; her dubious reward in seeing him (John Shepperd), long after, become a U.S. Presidential candidate. There is also the teacher's furtive romance with the manual training teacher (John Payne), and their painful discovery of how sadistically the community minds their well-meant morals...
