Review of The Subject Was Roses (1968) by Ronni M — 02 Feb 2011
Emotionally-gripping & dramatically-weighty account of the tragically-disfunctional situation an ex-GI (Martin Sheen) encounters upon returning to his childhood home. His parents (Jack Albertson & Patricia Neal-) are still in the throes of an extremely unhappy marriage, & he inexorably gets drawn in to their sadly-unfulfilling & miserable life.
Powerhouse performances all around, with Albertson (In an Oscar-winning job-) memorably superb as the demanding and domineering father.
