Though well-acted by Shirley MacLaine and Audrey Hepburn, this second version of Lillian Hellman's play about the malice of lies is not as powerful as the first, in 1936, also helmed by William Wyler.

Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)

Closer to the play than Wyler's first effort at the story, but oddly less compelling.

| Original Score: 4/5

Well-acted, albeit dated treatment of a then-taboo topic
