Trivialidades:

The original Broadway stage play "The Glass Menagerie" opened at the Playhouse Theatre on Mar 31, 1945 and ran for 563 performances.

Errores:

Continuidad: As Tom is speaking with Laura in one scene, every time the camera is focused on her, his arms are at his sides in the background. When the camera focuses on him, his arms are crossed. This switches back and forth for an entire scene.

Citas:

Tom Wingfield: I'm going to the movies.
Amanda Wingfield: I don't believe that lie!
Tom Wingfield: No? Well you're right, Mother. I'm going to opium dens. Yes, mother. Opium dens. Dens of vice and criminal's hangouts, mother, I am a hired assassin, I joined the Hogan gang, I carry a tommy gun in a violin case, and I run a stream of cat houses in the valley...

a little disappointing

As the director of a theatre version of the play i was intrigued to see this film version, but found its directional tone a little too dark for my liking. I felt Newman failed to extract some of the humour from the text, although his overall character placement etc was pleasing. i liked woodward's amanda which i felt had the right blend of the endearing and the pathetic and i felt Allen was a delightful laura. i found Malkovich's tom just a little too intense and brooding. again, i would have liked to see more of the humour brought to life.
