Review of The Pumpkin Eater (1964) by Jay N — 24 Jan 2010
Anne Bancroft is brilliant in this heavy drama of the collapse of a bad marriage. The rest of the cast of fine English actors all give good performances but are overshadowed by Anne's towering work.
Maggie Smith's part as a flibbigibbet is small and worlds away from what has become her established persona of astrigent strength. A good film but rough going.
