Title: Overblown Drama From Ready-Fire-Aim Playwright Lillian Hellman
Product review: This Audrey Hepburn/James Garner/Shirley MacLaine film based on a play by Lillian Hellman is a dark, dour, cynical, not very interesting movie about two women who are persecuted for being lesbians. The story does not ring true (even for the time it was written) as the "evidence" on which the women are convicted would have been debunked by even a rudimentary examination of the facts by a few mature, humane adults. The movie evokes feelings of creepiness, not sympathy as the playwright probably intended.
