As the review says on the back of the DVD Lucille Ball is superb in her final role as an old bad lady who is down on her luck in this film. She did a great job and is totally believable in the role as she shows her new found friend Carrie (Daphne Zuniga) the how to survive on the gritty streets of New York. Her character is tough and cantankerous, but at heart she has a mother's love and concern and the hopes and dreams of any soul facing the desperation of homelessness. I am not going to give any more away, but to say that the movie deeply touched me and made me give thought to the plight facing those who are homeless. I would rate the film 8/10 and recommend it to any Lucille Ball or otherwise. I really enjoyed it and hope others can say the same.
Best movie ever. Looked 4ever for it. A must have for any Lucy fan. Her last full ldngth movie about real life & real world.

Lucille Ball is as great a serious actress as she is in comedy! She played in her last performance perfectly... She even looks like a "florabelle"...ive been wanting this movie forever and accidentally found it.... It will be a great walk up memory lane watching it again!

This is about a homeless woman [played by Lucille Ball] who actually remembers coming from a wealthy, educated home and acts accordenly but people think she's "pretending to be smart and well-bred" because of her situation until she runs into a homeless man who also was from an educated home but lost his sanity to mental illness and they team up after he saves her from being robbed....the story goes much deeper then I can put in words here but Lucy should have won an Acadamy Award for this role, and I'm sure she would have had she not died---this was her LAST film....a must see tearjerker!!!
This is such a great film! The actors show such genuine emotion and depth to their characters. I love Lucille Ball and had seen this movie once before. It had such a lasting impression on me. I know she was known as the funny lady but I think she was so much more real than she was given credit for. Daphne Zuniga is also very good in her supporting role. These two women do a wonderful job of invoking emotion where one would not think they would react. I wonderful film and I highly recommend it.
