This accomplished adaptation from a stage play should be given more attention. Shirley Booth is fantastic in the film, and Lancaster - although he's clearly too young for the role - gives a solid performance as well. I also dug the scenes between Jaeckel's jock/jerk and Moore's flirt/tease.

Shirley Booth won a well deserved Best Actress Oscar for her performance in "Come Back, Little Sheba." The film is powerful and takes you to uncomfortable places.

Powerful middle American melodrama showing the warts behind the happy family facade, where one spouse wants to live in the past, and the other is trying to move toward the future. If I was Little Sheba, I'd be running away from this family too. Booth makes her character as likeable as fingernails down a chalkboard and deservedly snagged an Oscar. I'm not sure the film does much more than the play; it's still pretty talky and the few scene changes don't add much.
