Another great Davis/Hopkins vehicle. Hopkins is slightly less of a bitch in this one, so I like "Old Acquaintance" better. Each of these movies, however, has enough intense superdiva acting for a dozen regular movies. Seriously, though, Davis' soliloquy when she speaks to her absent daughter Tina in a gentle and loving tone she would never permit herself to use in person is an incredibly moving moment, one I will certainly choose to watch again.

Sort of beautiful in its simplicity.
