The scenery in Maine where this was filmed, is perhaps the biggest star. The films cast would have been super in their prime, but here what is amazing is that the director managed to get as much energy as they did out of them. The movie is not exactly exciting.
Lillian Gish, into her 90's when she did this one, has quite a bit of energy in what really is the starring role here. Bette Davis as her sister is really a second fiddle as her performance here is no different that it had been in several films. Ann Sothern who along with Gish are in their lat screen role, is here but clearly a support player.
When I watched this one, what I saw was Senior sisters (Gish & Davis) at a cottage in Maine, being visited by some folks. While there is no harm to come to either, they are looking for peace in their relationships and remembering what was. Davis cast as being blind is really the major wet blanket in the film.
Of course, if your not into this elderly cat, you might want to visit the lobby until this blows over. Then again, you might wish to look at some really old pros showing some major energy in their cast inspired for this.
