Come Back, Little Sheba is a 1950s classic, based on what was then a new play by the debuting William Inge, the sultry drama was awarded every award for its efforts and everyone was happy. Especially the award-winning Shirley Booth. But what was considered realism then is no longer realism today, just like most of the hits of that time. Today, it's just a window into postwar Hollywood, which found salvation in a woman who let herself be chained to the home fireplace.
