Although it features a young (and very moving) Liz Taylor,this movie belongs to Mary Astor.Without this energetic mother ,her daughter would have lived a life poisoned with protection ,with a lot of people trying to enlighten her ,to cure her so called diseases;in short she would have lived shut away in her own house,under her uncle's(a doctor)watchful eye.The meal is the moment when Cynthia (and her mother) realizes that her hypocrite cousin gets her pleasure from her pain ,and from the fact she'll never meet boys and be a girl like the other ones. Ditto for Cynthia 's father who keeps a low profile before his boss and never dares to ask a promotion or to put himself forward in a chairmanship election.
The mother is some kind of fairy godmother whose coach does not turn into a pumpkin again."The movement you need is on your shoulder"
