Lola Delaney is a vulgar, dumpy, less-than-bright "shotgun bride" who is married to recovering alcoholic Doc Delaney. Their unhappy marriage is made even more unhappy when a sexy stranger, Marie, rents a room from Lola. Lola is a tiresome creature who never stops talking, especially about the "imminent" return of her runaway dog Sheba. Doc is having enough trouble staying from the bottle and resigning himself to his marriage without the curvaceous Marie arousing his baser instincts.

  • "Slovenly housewife Lola and recovering alcoholic Doc Delaney have a dull life. Things change when they take in a charming boarder, Marie, who becomes the daughter they never had. But then Marie takes up with a boorish boyfriend and Doc descends into a jealous tailspin, once again facing the temptations of the bottle."

  • "A married couple is forced to come to terms with their failures when they take in an attractive border."
  • "Based on William Inge's classic play, Come Back, Little Shelba, is the stirring tale of a life-weary couple who rescue hope from the ruins of the past. Shirley Booth stars in an Academy Award performance as Lola, slovenly housewife to Doc Delaney (Burt Lancaster), a recovering alcoholic. The Delaneys' life is dull and unchanging, but takes a dramatic turn when the couple takes in a charming boarder, Marie (Terry Moore). An unforgettable film shimmering with life-truths and dramatic intensity."@en
