if you like "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" then you'll love this offbeat, interesting little movie that's more like a play than a film.  4 actors in one room, that's it!  A great script, fantastic acting by all involved. It's a look at a tense family relationship with an overly doting mother (Ava Gardner), her beaten-down husband (Anthony Quinn) and her 36 year old son who returns after being away from home for 3 months.  He brings his shy new girlfriend (Anna Karina) home with him and that's what fuels the dialogue and action of this movie.  If you're a fan of any of the actors in this definitely buy the DVD.  So what if it's a cheesy DVD, this is one rare movie so we're lucky it's available at all!

score 10/10
