		By the end of the film Sheba's symbolic significance has become more clear, as Lola is finally able to relinquish the impossible hope that the dog will return, and move on with her life as it is in the present.
		The movie is appropriate for youth as well as adults, although, admittedly, it requires a minimal level of sophistication to sit through a drama without any explosions, aliens, or car chases.
		"Come Back, Little Sheba" is also an excellent example of historic Hollywood, and features some of the finest performances of some of its era's most popular actors: Shirley Booth, Terry Moore, and Burt Lancaster.

		Marie gradually brings back memories of Doc's past and it is soon revealed that this is a story of a marriage that was forced by a pregnancy, followed by the unexpected loss of the child.
		Come Back Little Sheba reminded me of those early 1960's British "kitchen sink" movies, where the focus is on working class and not very glamorous people who are forced to deal with very real issues.
		Come Back Little Sheba is a marvelously subtle and beautifully acted movie that centers on the personalities of those affected with alcoholism and the emotional damage that it ultimately causes.

		When the movie begins with a typical domestic scene, like Booth making breakfast for her husband, "Doc," you'll note that they call each other "Baby" and "Daddy" but there are no children to be seen.
		The highlight of her day is when the mailman comes and she can offer him a cold drink and visit with him for a minute.
		Little Sheba has been gone for ages, or she has died of boredom living with these people.

		Come Back, Little Sheba is based on the play by William Inge and was quite a controversial film when first released.
		Come Back, Little Sheba is now over fifty years old but its subject matter and heart are all still very timely.
		Then, when the alcohol comes out we are terrified of him just as his wife is. With this scene the movie pushes what alcoholism can do to a person and the film shows us without having to resort to any kind of speeches or preaching.

	Four Plays: Come Back Little Sheba, Picnic, Bus Stop and the Dark at the Top of the Stairs (Black Cat Book)
		"Come Back, Little Sheba" is a low-key story of a recovering alcoholic which rises to thunderous and violent drama.
		Only "Dark At The Top of The Stairs" is a little less focused in it's story of a 1920s family threatened by marital discord, the play is unfortunately reliant on a shock-value incident which seems to only serve as a melodramatic device.
		Inge was superb at slowly revealing the subtext of their lives--the situations and mishaps that had got them to the point where a pivotal decision had to be made and there were only one or two options to consider.

	Come Back Little Sheba - The Memorable TV DVD Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Based on William Inge's classic play Come Back Little Sheba is a classic slice of kitchen sink realism from a time when Hollywood was trying to push the boundaries a little.
		This is a superb movie, looking crisper than ever in a nice new fl and white print, as new boarder Marie acts as a catalyst for great change in the Delaney's marriage.
		Yes at times the stage origins of the movie are evident, especially in some lengthy dialogue scenes but this doesn't detract at all from the overall feel of Sheba's power.

	Struggle in a Bungalow Kitchen
		Little did I know, in the first few minutes of the film, that this somewhat odd morning ritual was not an example of domestic efficiency but rather a sign that the housewife had been leading an extremely sad, empty existence.
		In her grief over the loss of a puppy, harkening back to the loss of a baby, some twenty years earlier, and in her inability to invest her life with meaning, she no longer cared about her appearance or her home.
		Drunk, he lambasts her for cleaning the back of her neck only when visitors are coming.

		She also loves the fact that the windows, which are very tall, come low enough to the floor for her to peek out at the world (and bark at passing dogs).
		Based on William Inge's play of the same name, "Come Back, Little Sheba" is about a childless couple in late middle age who have deflected life's blows with a combination of intense repression and frail fantasy.
		While Lola's part may seem a little overdone, and sometimes the film feels a bit too much like a play, "Come Back, Little Sheba" is a stirring story of the quiet struggles in ordinary lives.

		Realizing that fact and taking “Come Back, Little Sheba” for what it is and not what my post-modernistic eyes wanted or expected it to be was more of a challenge than I would have thought.
		While this movie did not grab my attention and keep me as intrigued as I’m accustomed to these days, it did take me inside the psyches of these characters and allowed me not only to see, but also to look around for a while.
		Such uncompromising risks are rarely taken in today’s world of popcorn flicks which come and go as quickly as the latest pop artists, and it’s good to be reminded of just how rewarding losing yourself in a film can truly be.

		And if he tries - as he occasionally does - to bond with his kids over a movie at the local multiplex, he invariably finds the result to be a crude, headache-inducing action movie which the kids adore but which he can barely make head or tail of.
		Certainly the ghettoisation of foreign-language movies in a separate (and subsidiary) list seems to imply they'd have a hard time making it into the actual Ten - and besides, even in 1987, there was only one foreign-language film among the paper's best-of-the-year.
		So the new movie audience staggers on, unsteady on its too-many legs and supporting an increasingly eclectic mess of different fragments and segments ; and, as people become more and more used to watching a particular kind of movie, coalition into a truly diverse whole becomes more and more impossible.

		In its time, the movie was criticized for presenting Alice with too pat a choice between lover and career, and with making the lover too implausibly attractive in the person of Kris Kristofferson.
		Alice's husband comes across as a totally unsympathetic character until you realize that much of his more tender scenes with Alice were cut in order to make the film move faster.
		Ironically, filming had to be stopped on this movie for a couple of days because Ellen Burstyn had to go to the Oscars as she was nominated for her role in 'The Exorcist' that year.

	filmcritic.com Movie Review: Come Back, Little Sheba
		Come Back, Little Sheba is among the best of several booze-obsessed Hollywood melodramas of the 1950s (The Lost Weekend, Days of Wine and Roses, and The Country Girl covered the same territory).
		Predictably, he is still somewhat good-looking despite the booze, but she has let herself go, and is somewhat childish.
		Come Back, Little Sheba is painfully real and not so fun to watch -- the 1950s equivalent of spending an evening with loser friends or family members whose lives haven’t turned out as well as planned.

	Come Back, Little Sheba (1977) (TV) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Playwright William Inge never liked Shirley Booth, or her brilliant performance as Lola in the Broadway and original film versions of "Sheba" -- he wanted an actress that would be believable as a faded beauty.
		But the curse on Lola's husband "Doc" endures, and Olivier is as miscast as Lancaster was in the '52 film.
		A very young Carrie Fisher is natural and luminous as Marie, and Woodward is wonderful as always, but there's no escaping the long shadow of Booth's heartbreaking, legendary performance, which remains the heart and soul of "Sheba." Inge was wrong.

		But the truth is that Tattoo has always really been little more than a showcase for its leading lady, and the performance that this film showcases has not dimmed an iota over the decades.
		Despite this little misadventure and the beating he receives from Magnani, Lancaster is only briefly deterred by this.
		The movie was filmed in old Florida Keys, so I give it points for overall ambience, but all in all I can't give it more than 2 or 3 stars--unless the move counts as a primer on Sicilian dating and courtship rituals.
