Directed by Mitchell Leisen.
After she’s forced to close the hamburger stand her deceased husband started, Ellen McNulty goes to visit her son (Lund) only to be mistaken as a domestic by his new wife (Tierney). As Ellen, Thelma Ritter delivers a gutsy low-brow performance while Leisen deftly maneuvers through the comic and dramatic turns of the story.
