given that it's largely a two-hander of a script, it kind of makes you wonder how it wasn't nominated for Best Picture, too, but 1962 was a deep year. Definitely see it once, it's a classic, winner of Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress Oscars. Stark and powerful, even if it slows into a somewhat repetitive groove after a while. It struck me as unusual for a film of its era to start SO in media res, with the stakes already so high and the parents already so distraught, but it's for the better. Intense from the get-go, in both style and acting still cinematographically modern in a lot of ways and dominated by a fiery performance by Anne Bancroft.
