A tale of an aspiring actress on the verge of a sharp decline is directed by Franklin J. Schaffner and features Joanne Woodward in a skillful and engaging portrayal of Lila, the would-be thespian. The setting is a small town in the plains state of Kansas where Lila finds herself stranded when her job falls apart. Thanks to her friend Helen (Clair Trevor) she's not left out in the cold. Helen's household includes only one other person, her adult son Kenny (Richard Beymer) who is captivated by Lila, and the two have a one-night stand. Kenny gets cold feet when it comes to commitment, spurring Lila to go out looking for any work at all. Her sleazy boyfriend-manager Ricky suggests stripping for the conventions that come and go, and Lila finds herself on the brink of a downhill slide.

4 of 5 meant for Monroe, but still worthwhile October 13, 2015
Reviewer: F. REYNOLDS CLOUGH from MIAMI, FL United States  
This film, based on William Inge's A Loss of Roses, was one of several film projects left on the back shelf by Marilyn Monroe's death.  No one but she could have uplifted this rather morose tale of a failed showgirl's dreams of a secure home life.  Woodward then,  is essentially miscast.  Yet it is her strong persona (though different from the play's heroine) that compels you to watch and care about her fate. Backed by a good cast and a fine Jerry Goldsmith score, the film is worth seeing.
