Revealing mistakes: The long tracking shot near end of film (in which camera begins on Jo smoking in bed, then winds through closeups of mementos in her living room) was shot backward; at beginning of shot smoke is going into her cigarette, not out of it. moreFAQ

A real sleeper, not too many people know of this extraordinary film. It was somewhat dismissed as a "Woman's Picture" when first released even though Anne Bancroft received a Best Actress Academy Award nomination. The amazing cast includes a small cameo-like performance by James Mason which is one of his best. When given the chance to view this film, DON'T MISS IT.
