The Harrington family is not a happy one. Mother and housewife Louise (Rosalind Russell) is somewhat self-deluded, while father and business executive Stanley (Jack Hawkins) is disconnected and distant. Their son, Philip (Richard Beymer), is a fey and sensitive teen, and his sister, Pamela (Annette Gorman), is restless and tightly wound. Into this tense mix arrives Walter (Maximilian Schell), a charming tutor, whose presence shakes things up in the troubled household.

Photoplay

The talk and three of the talkers get so irritating that interest wears thin along with the theme.

Rosalind Russell has never been more campy, a large statement, the normally able Jack Hawkins flounders around, and even Maximilian Schell was unable to be convincing.
