It tells a compact, quietly tense tale of a childless woman eager for company and stimulation of any kind, and a man struggling to stay &#8220;dry&#8221; by attending AA meetings, going to work as a chiropractor, and co-existing with his kind yet desperately lonely and insecure wife. The introduction of Moore into this couple&#8217;s predictable lives most definitely tips the balances &#8212; though not necessarily in ways we&#8217;d expect. As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dvdtalk.com\/dvdsavant\/s1335sheba.html\">DVD Savant writes<\/a>, in addition to providing an intriguing &#8220;early look at the AA culture, with its positive method for helping alcoholics through support groups&#8221;, it shows us how &#8220;Doc Delaney [Lancaster] goes through his days dour and methodical, conscious of everything he does and says as if convinced some invisible demon will appear to send him back to the bottle&#8221; &#8212; in other words, engaging in the highly tenuous work of staying sober moment to moment. All the key players give fine performances, and while we sense that things are headed in a bad direction, we&#8217;re kept authentically invested in how they will ultimately resolve. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Shirley Booth as Lola<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Come-Back-Little-Sheba-Booth.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Come-Back-Little-Sheba-Booth.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"544\" height=\"416\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-52912\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Come-Back-Little-Sheba-Booth.png 544w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Come-Back-Little-Sheba-Booth-300x229.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Come-Back-Little-Sheba-Booth-128x98.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Come-Back-Little-Sheba-Booth-353x270.png 353w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 544px) 100vw, 544px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Terry Moore as Marie<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Come-Back-Little-Moore.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Come-Back-Little-Moore.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"544\" height=\"416\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-52911\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Come-Back-Little-Moore.png 544w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Come-Back-Little-Moore-300x229.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Come-Back-Little-Moore-128x98.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Come-Back-Little-Moore-353x270.png 353w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 544px) 100vw, 544px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Burt Lancaster as Doc Delaney\/&#8221;Daddy&#8221;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Come-Back-Little-Sheba-Lancaster.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Come-Back-Little-Sheba-Lancaster.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"544\" height=\"416\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-52914\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Come-Back-Little-Sheba-Lancaster.png 544w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Come-Back-Little-Sheba-Lancaster-300x229.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Come-Back-Little-Sheba-Lancaster-128x98.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Come-Back-Little-Sheba-Lancaster-353x270.png 353w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 544px) 100vw, 544px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Atmospheric cinematography<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Come-Back-Little-Sheba-Cinematography.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Come-Back-Little-Sheba-Cinematography.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"544\" height=\"416\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-52913\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Come-Back-Little-Sheba-Cinematography.png 544w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Come-Back-Little-Sheba-Cinematography-300x229.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Come-Back-Little-Sheba-Cinematography-128x98.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Come-Back-Little-Sheba-Cinematography-353x270.png 353w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 544px) 100vw, 544px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nYes, once, for the performances. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Categories<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Oscar Winner or Nominee<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Links: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0044509\/\">IMDb entry<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tcm.com\/tcmdb\/title\/71270\/come-back-little-sheba#articles-reviews?articleId=79856\">TCM Article<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.timeout.com\/movies\/come-back-little-sheba\">Time Out Capsule Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dvdtalk.com\/dvdsavant\/s1335sheba.html\">DVD Savant Review<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;I can&#8217;t give up just because I made a few mistakes; I&#8217;ve gotta keep going!&#8221; Synopsis: A frumpy housewife (Shirley Booth) looks after her one-year-sober husband (Burt Lancaster) while welcoming a college-age boarder (Terry Moore) to their house &#8212; but Moore&#8217;s dalliances with an amorous athlete (Richard Jaeckel) upset Lancaster&#8217;s hard-won equilibrium.
