El zoo de cristal (1950)
Primera versión cinematográfica de la obra teatral homónima de Tennessee Williams. Amanda Wingfield (Gertrude Lawrence), mujer madura que añora un pasado esplendoroso, es una madre obsesionada con que su “soñador egoísta” hijo Tom (Arthur Kennedy) haga una buena carrera y su tímida hija Laura (Jane Wyman) logre un buen matrimonio. La película se atiene bastante a la historia original, excepto por el final que tiene un giro más optimista.
