My rating: 3 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)
Nominated: Edith Evans - Best Actress
Depressing story of the elderly in the UK. Edith Evans lives alone in a small apartment in a poverty stricken neighborhood. She hears voices and talks to herself. One day her son visits and hides a bag full of money. She accidentally discovers it and is at first overjoyed. However, when she flashes it to a stranger she is kidnapped, mugged and left for dead. She makes a long recovery in the hospital. Her old husband shows up, and he's a no good bum who spends her money on prostitutes and gambling. It's a well-photographed study of abuse and abandonment.
