Rating:  - And now for the DVD???????????????
Seems that with the death of Deborah Kerr that there are still a number of her films that have never been transferred to DVd and this would be one at the top of that list. Despite its age, its horrific ending (that tacked on guilt ridden ending should be burnt and let the film end the way the stage play did), there is still some great work here from Deborah and John Kerr (despite looking late 20s at the time which he probably was) I recently transferred my old video off- the -TV print to DVD and ...

Rating: - A review of some reviews.
I haven't seen this film since I was 21, in 1956. I never read the book, nor saw the play. But with my limited sexual experience, and few friends of either sex, I had NO trouble understanding the movie, exactly as it was presented, and as all the actors and director wanted it underdstood.

Rating:  - A subtle movie about other things
The focus of Tea and Sympathy is clearly Laura Reynolds and her need for a sensitive man whom she can trust, love, and have a share in the life of a marriage. Her first husband does the macho thing in war and dies, her new boardinbg school husband is over the too butch, interested in his boys and not her..he forgets their first anniversary etc, What is Anderson saying here? A woman finds sensitive men who think they must be macho..the first dies, the second becomes a recluse..and yet too, there is the rather ... Read More
Rating: - Its not about homosexuality--stop the fantasizing
This is a bittersweet story of a sensitive 17-year-old boy in a New England boarding school who happens not to be interested in sports or chasing girls, but is into listening to music and acting and enjoys the company of women. In the movie, you realize that he grew up without a mother, hence his bond with older women. Of course, he doesn't fit the outwardly masculine image of the other boys and chooses to be a lone a lot.
He develops an attraction to the housemaster's wife, who has a motherly-like ... Read More
