"In this sordid but arresting story, Freda Jackson has a similar role to the one she played so successfully in No Room at the Inn. And she gives another first rate performance. Lois Maxwell gives a poignant portrayal of a mother whose child dies as a result of neglect. Director Gordon Parry has handled this tragic piece with ability and understanding." LESS
