Tony Award-winning actress
Blythe Danner portrays the sensitive spinster Alma Winemiller, in
Tennessee Williams' emotional drama. Frustrated with longing for the socially prominent young doctor next door (
Frank Langella), the eccentric, highly emotional minister's daughter decides to settle for one night with him in a rented hotel room.
"Blythe Danner's Alma is as much of a television event as Katherine Hepburn's Amanda in The Glass Managerie; Frank Langella is such a warm, dreamy-eyed Dr. Buchannan that the role has a smooth romanticism that complements Danner's determined honesty splendidly."
