when abhimanyu visits cudappah to meet his love sairabanu , he comes to know that there is a remote connection to his family and sairabanu ' s family . the rest of the film is all about finding the connection between the two families and then marry his lady love with the permission of elders from both the sides .
screenplay - direction : the work of the director mallikharjuna - a protégé of puri jagannadh - is neat . the character of hero has shades of three religions because he is born to a christian father and a muslim mother and he is brought up by a hindu mother . he also made the film without hurting sentiments of any of these religions . narration of the film is little slow , but the execution is pretty smooth . mallikharjuna handled the sentimental scenes in the film with authority .
abhimanyu possessed incomparable courage , valor and fighting ability . he was considered to be a warrior equal or perhaps superior to his father ( arjuna ) owing to his prodigious feats .
kalyan ram nandamuri : kalyan ram nandamuri has excelled in each and every department with his measured performance by getting into the skin of the character . he exhibited good comedy timing , excelled in fights , shown great ease in dances , improved his dialogue delivery and transcended in emotional scenes . and at the same time , he never dominated any of the proceedings gave priority to story and narration . more importantly , he is looking very glamorous in ' abhimanyu ' compared to his debut film . he it appeared more apt when he said ' maa vamsamlo andaru andagaalle ' in this film .
the film opened in 605 screens [ 1 ] and collected a distributors ' share of rs . 95 million in its opening week . it collected rs . 150 . 4 million in 2 weeks and rs 25 . 35 crores in its full run . the film had a 50 - day run in 253 centres [ 2 ] and a 100 - day run in 191 centres . [ 3 ]

sairabanu - with her guardians ( ali & rajitha ) - rents a place which is in the first floor of abhiram ' s house . sairabanu & abhimanyu ' s introduction starts with teasing and slowly the forbidden thing happens . they fall in love . and jaleel khan comes to know about it and takes his daughter back to cudappah .
music : music by mani sharma is good . he used western instruments ( rock & metal guitar ) for the first two songs in the film . and his skills in giving background music are excellent . we realise the greatness of mani sharma ' s re - recording when you watch the re - recording of some films done by a few new music directors .
an underground terror group led by a mysterious proxy akash recruits unemployed youth and turns them into suicide bombers . asst . commissioner of police parashuram ( arjun ) decides to take the case ( and the film ) into his own hands in a fit of patriotic fervour . in a subsequent fit of wisdom , he hides a key witness ( gayathri raghuram ) at the home of his flaky fiancee ( kiran ) , thereby endangering both and his anti - terror mission in general .
story abhimanyu ( kalyan ram nandamuri ) is a college going student and his mother janaki ( suhasini ) is a physically handicapped lady . jaleel khan ( pavan malhotra ) is a landlord at cudappah , who hates the word called love . sairabanu ( spandana ) is his daughter who wants to do her further studies in hyderabad . jaleel khan is not comfortable with that idea , but sends his daughter to hyderabad with a firm instruction that she should concentrate on studies and avoid indulging any other activities .
suhasini ( in a wheelchair ) : don ' t worry ; the wheelchair ' s just a ploy to avoid income tax . the rate at which my husband makes movies , i can use all the help i get financially . now you know why i ' m doing this film . i ' m playing abhi ' s foster mother . if only i knew he would give that terrific speech on mother ' s day . i would ' ve donated him to george bush personally . now i have to mother abhi , even at 25 !
abhimanyu ( climbing up a rope ) : hi ! this is my daily workout . i paint my face , climb up to the terrace of the building by a rope , and feel energetic . actually i feel nauseated , but i ' ve been practicing . i can barf up to 10 metres now ! initially i was supposed to play spiderman . but somehow hollywood didn ' t work out . it seems the suckers never heard of my grandfather . rats ! so now i settle here . i get to play spiderman here too . it ' s just that i don ' t have eight legs .

we have given the privilege earlier to the other ntr kid , tarakaratna . so we thought that kalyan ram must get his share of the cake too . of course , the popularity of tarak helped , but the real reason we ' re doing this is that we ' re out of fresh stuff . but we ' re sure that most of urltoken ' s readers don ' t remember anything , and the rest cannot read . so here ' s a déjà vu review with a twist . this is abhimanyu , as a single - act , scripted play : reverberating voice : the lord , they say , has his own strange ways . whoever said that obviously hadn ' t seen a telugu movie . now , the lord , they say , has his own set of blind goggles . scene 1 in the house . in the college . in the dumps .

bhanu ( on the next floor ) : hi ! seeing a painted man climbing up , i fainted . but when abhi removed his face pack and gave me his seductive look , i went into a coma . once revived , the director said that abhi ' s expression only meant that he wanted to play . whatever - how would i know about expressions ? i ' m from bombay .
venu madhav and gang : we went to every other director in the industry for a role . after which we started wondering how anybody manages to get a role in the industry with all the filthy things the directors call their actors . we chose this movie instead of being called filthy things by directors . now we ' re called filthy things by the audience . cool , huh ?

15 tahsildars are found missing , and then the police find that 14 of them have been released after three days , but one of them has been killed . they find some files and a tape along with the body of the dead tahsildar . these files carry details of why the kidnapping of the 15 tahsildars had been done and the reason for the murder of one of them , and have the words acf written on it . it is understood by the police that these men were the tahsildars who had indulged themselves in bribery and that they were the top 15 of the list of the corrupt tahsildars . the acf sends the tape , with the message that they shall continue the kidnap of the corrupt officers in all the departments and that the no . 1 corrupt shall be sentenced to death according to the law of the anti corruption force . the acf similarly kidnaps officials from pwd and police department and kills the top corrupt official .
there is fear among the corrupt officials . they come forward to file their returns . for a while there are no illegal transactions done , but the corruption soon continues in the society due to the threatening of the local mob to sign illegal documents and accept bribes . meanwhile , the acf finds that it is badrinarayana ( sayaji shinde ) , who is the real reason behind this corruption scenario . then the kidnapping continues . the case is investigated by group of several old - aged senior level officials who are very slow - moving in their progress . however , suryam ( prakash raj ) , an ips - passed guy who is working as a constable ( unable to pay the bribe to get the officer - level job ) takes up the case in order to get promotion in the department and moves ahead of those officials in a short time . he investigates the case starting with finding of the non - corrupt official in every government office assuming that official would have collected the information of other corrupt officers and passed it to acf . he tries to figure out what is the common thing which unites them under one roof . he gradually finds out that they are alumni of national college and working for the acf under their professor and the leader of the acf , professor tagore ( chiranjeevi ) .
tagore is a simple man who leads a simple life during the daytime along with his adopted kids from different cultures ( one is a muslim , one is an american , one is hindu , etc . ) . he looks like a timid character , but brave in terms of his actions , and he is loved by all of his peers . tagore once takes one of his kids to the hospital for treating an injury and finds that the hospital is a place full of corruption who play with the lives of people for the sake of money . tagore decides to expose the truth and catches them red - handed by faking a dead body as a patient . the hospital , unaware of his plans , continue their treatment even though they know that the person is dead and demand lakhs of money for treatment . tagore produces the documents and receipts related to their fake treatment and gets the hospital sealed by the government . the hospital dean is arrested but he commits suicide . the father of the dean , badrinarayana , is enraged by this and attempts to take revenge on tagore . he finds tagore in the cctv camera and is shocked as according to him he was dead several years ago .
tagore is a happy professor with his wife nandini ( jyothika ) , who is expecting a second child and daughter . on a deepavali day , when the whole apartment is celebrating the festival , the entire building collapses due to some fault in the construction of a nearby highway , and many of the residents , including nandini and tagore ' s daughter lose their lives . tagore rushes to the government officials , and he comes to know that all this was due to one person , namely badrinarayana , the owner of a construction company and builder of that highway . tagore finds that the highway was constructed on loose soil by which the contractions caused to collapse was very well known to him . badrinarayana and his men thrash tagore heavily and beat him to death . however , tagore escapes from them . the incidents that he faced at the office and seeing corrupt puppets in the hands of badrinarayana , he gets frustrated and he forms the acf ( anti corruption force ) to fight against corruption . he also kidnaps badrinarayana and kills him like he killed other corrupted officials .
the constable finally finds out the people working for acf are the ex - students and the police force capture all of them . police men torture them to open the identity of their leader ; however , they refuse to do so . tagore , on seeing his students suffer , surrenders to the police and requests the indian police to release his students . the rising support for tagore makes the chief minister ( k . vishwanath ) to meet him for higher appeal . tagore refuses to appeal as he wants to stress the concept in the minds of everyone that if we make mistakes , we will be punished and he himself doesn ' t want to violate it as he did a crime of killing four people . tagore gives a speech in the court explaining what a student power the country has but corruption is what is letting it down . in the end , tagore is given a normal punishment of five years and is to be released by then .

ok , forget the fact that this is a movie that’s predictable and sort of sappy . and forget the fact that sweeney and vaughan play brother and sister ( twins , actually ) on their day jobs . second chances is ridiculously adorable . i fell in love with the movie for so many reasons :
synopsis for second chances : a 911 operator and single mom starts to fall for a fireman after he breaks his leg in an emergency and unusual circumstances bring them together . as jeff gets to know jenny and her two young children , their connection is undeniable , but with the best interests of her family in mind , she has to decide if two really is better than one .

“the journey of the bali nine was widely publicised in international papers , but our aim with this film is to capture the part of the story that hasn’t been told , ” field said .

diego serrano ( jeff’s firefighter friend ) : his guest starring credits include ray donovan , 24 , csi : miami and arli $ $ . but i think i know serrano most from his role on the now defunct daytime drama , another world , where he played tomas rivera . and here’s some additional soap trivia : the actor created the role of diego guiterrez on the young and the restless . serrano’s second chances co - star , greg vaughan , was actually diego number two . vaughan replaced serrano in the role .
both with homosexual subplots , were under consideration by major studios . it seemed that the film industry , waiting to deal with this subject , had successfully put the squeeze on an already weakened code . for producers knew that their films , like preminger’s
“our story is based around the remarkable transformation of andrew chan and the flow - on effect of his faith within the prison and to those who visited , ” independent film producer ben field , who has previously worked as a director on home and away , said .
twenty - five years later , wyler got a second chance to film the play , again for united artists , producing it himself . miriam hopkins , martha in the first version , returned to play mrs . mortar , providing an interesting continuity between the two casts . title questions persisted , however . under consideration were “infamous , ” “the infamous , ” and “the loudest whisper . ” the title from the original play , though , won out , and the children’s hour , with lillian hellman’s name blazoned across the “based on” screen credit , was released in 1961 .
while hellman had adapted her own play the first time around , this time the task fell to john michael hayes . hellman gets screen credit for “adapting” hayes’s script , though she claimed later that she “didn’t have anything to do with it . it was done by somebody else” ( bryer , 170 ) . according to bernard dick , “hammett’s death in 1961 caused her to lose interest in the project” ( 43 ) . the hayes screenplay actually followed the action of the drama more closely than hellman did herself 25 years earlier . despite the apparent fidelity , however , this second film version of the children’s hour is no more faithful an adaptation than these three . both films avoid the issues of power that are central to the original play .
ed asner ( the retired fire chief ) : the muliptle emmy - winning actor is best known for playing the same role on two highly acclaimed series , the mary tyler moore show and lou grant . he has countless other film and tv roles to his credit , but it’s playing lou grant on a comedy and a drama that earned him five emmys and three golden globes .
what does this version do ? cinematically , it is not as suspenseful as the first version . perhaps wyler was trying to be sedate and tasteful with the newfound permission to make the film . for whatever reason , the movie lacks the plot - driven cohesion and tension of hellman’s plays and films . even so , the representation of two women , devoted to each other and the enterprise ( the school ) that ensures their independence , is well done . and yet … the movie fosters , however tastefully , a lesbian stereotyping that the critics latched onto hard and fast . clearly , the audrey hepburn character is more “feminine” than the shirley maclaine character . that audrey could be a dyke is simply not a possibility . and john michael hayes had martha go by her last name , dobie , an affectation that does not appear in the original play or the first film version . in these three , the lesbian vanished . in the children’s hour , she’s still gone . in her place is a cliché .
because of the major changes forced on william wyler when he made lillian hellman’s smash broadway play the children’s hour into the film these three ( 1936 ) , the director commented , “miss hellman’s play has not yet been filmed” ( gardner , 191 ) . the hays office would not allow wyler or united artists to make reference to the original play in any advertising of the film , and they forced a title change . no screen credit was given to hellman along the lines of “based on the play by lillian hellman . ” hellman wrote the screenplay herself , changing the whispered rumor of a lesbian relationship between the two teachers to an illicit , though heterosexual , love affair between one of the teachers and her colleague’s fiancé . hellman’s having to wrestle her own material into some kind of shape amenable to the hays office is indicated in the struggles she had with a new title , contemplating “the hour of liberty” and “angel child” for a script completed in october 1935 . she settled on these three for the final draft a month later .
at the time that wyler made these three , moviehouses would not run films without the mpaa seal of approval , which allowed the censors to maintain de facto control over production through their actual control over distribution . by 1961 , however , arthur krim , the president of united artists , indicated that he would be willing to release the children’s hour without such a seal . he suggested to the censors that they “initiate steps for an amendment to the code that would permit such a release , ” and “on october 3 , 1961 … the production code was amended to permit the prudent treatment of homosexuality – which called it “‘sexual aberration ' ” ( gardner , 193 ) . while such a change may seem the harbinger of greater tolerance , russo sees the change as the mpaa’s desperate efforts to “maintain some illusion of control” ( 122 ) over film production . homosexuality , though now mentionable , was “still a subject to be whispered about but not to be explored in a meaningful way” ( 122 ) . the film that was ultimately made by wyler seems to bear out this analysis .
as wyler began the project of finally filming the play , homosexuality and lesbianism were still considered reasons to prohibit a movie’s release . in 1961 , the fact that the play did not contain the actual word “lesbian” did not make it any easier to film than it was 25 years earlier . ultimately , however , the children’s hour enjoyed more success against the censors than did these three , which capitulated entirely to hays office demands . the remake became one of a handful of landmark films contributing to the revamping of the production code , which was eventually replaced with the somewhat more liberal ratings system . the changes came about largely because of market pressures , however , not because the motion picture association of america had suddenly become a kinder , gentler censoring body . according to vito russo :
the changes hayes did make , however , once again significantly refocus the film . most notably , he rearranged the sequence of events – the two confessions and the suicide – in such a way as to avoid directly addressing the relations of power that stand at the dramatic center of the play . first , in a beautifully filmed , though somewhat overacted , sequence , martha admits her feelings for karen , declaring herself “guilty” of ruining both their lives . “i do love you , ” she says softly with her face turned away from the camera , “i couldn’t call it by name before . ” next , after martha makes her confession , mrs . tilford arrives to make hers . 1 she knocks timidly at the door of the school and enters , her slumped posture a marked contrast to her regal bearing during the confrontation scene earlier in her home . she describes mary’s perjured testimony and agrees to a public apology and the damage suit paid in full . only after both admissions does martha commit suicide .
in both the play and the 1936 film , mrs . tilford receives some comfort . in the former , karen agrees to let mrs . tilford give her money in order to help the older woman “feel better” about her complicity in martha’s death . in the latter , martha makes mrs . tilford her messenger , a duty she gratefully accepts as the least she can do . karen in the play and martha in these three are the ones who suffer the most when mrs . tilford exercises the power she has unchecked ; sympathy from the victimized for the perpetrator isn’t merely a sentimental ploy . particularly in the play , this sympathy reveals that power is constructed , not inherent in a righteous moral position . the sequence of events actually throws the plot backwards , toward a reexamination of the entire set of circumstances leading up to a death . the ending is not tidy , in a well - made play sort of way , opening up instead the possibility that such power and morality are harmful , even fatal .
joan mellen , in women and their sexuality in the new film , claims that martha’s “mannish manner clearly marks her as a lesbian” ( 97 ) . while “karen is feminine , ” apparently a marker of heterosexuality , “that she has refused to set a date for her marriage , preferring to remain with ‘dobie’ on the grounds that she must wait until the school begins to prosper , suggests that she too has homosexual leanings” ( 97 ) . agreeing with bernard dick , mellen sees mary as “already the prototype of the potential lesbian” ( 97 ) . in general , mellen laments that there are so few “cinematic portrayals of the female homosexual which show her as thoughtful , considerate , and willing at times to sacrifice her own desires for those of the other – in short , capable of real love” ( 99 ) . parker tyler , in screening the sexes : homosexuality in the movies , simply assumes both karen and martha are practicing lesbians , and describes them as “those finagling schoolteachers” who “had mutely agreed … to have things out in a safe place where nobody could snoop on them” ( 274 ) .
contributing to this reduction of the confession to plot point is its timing . in the play , martha has already killed herself when mrs . tilford arrives to make her disclosures . in the remake , however , martha hears mrs . tilford’s admission . karen rebuffs mrs . tilford’s attempts to atone mostly because she is concentrating on martha , on her reaction , thinking about what this means in the wake of martha’s own revelations . after mrs . tilford’s plea for help , martha begins to laugh almost hysterically . “help you ? ” she cries before running upstairs . karen runs up the stairs after her , as a defeated and dejected mrs . tilford slouches out the door . continuing the film beyond the point of mrs . tilford’s revelation has the same effect as ending the play with martha’s suicide . the center of the drama shifts each time away from the problem of mrs . tilford and how she exercises power . in wyler’s remake , he refocuses the drama on the relationship between karen and martha . while a strong female friendship would be a welcome event in hollywood films , that’s still not what the original play is about . the first version turned the play into a typical hollywood love story ; this version , 25 years later , explores neither relationships of power nor female devotion . instead , the question remaining is simply what will everyone do next ?

i loved this movie ! yes , i am a fan of hallmark movies , but this one is on the top of my list . the main actors were genuine and believable , as well as the children . the story itself was very endearing and touching . this movie had a lot of depth to it . it dealt with life and death matters , losing a loved one , and told a story of the dangers first responders face doing their job . the firefighter ' s pranks were entertaining and added a believability to the movie . i even wonder if they were real firefighters because they were uncredited . if you like hallmark movies , you can ' t go wrong by watching this one . just a note : as for the loud background music , a reviewer was referring to ; it wasn ' t even noticeable to me .

an australian producer is planning a movie about the faith journey of executed bali 9 drug trafficker andrew chan , the catholic leader reports .
now in pre - production and set to begin shooting early next year , finding mercy aims to show chan’s transformation and rehabilitation during his 10 - year incarceration in a bali prison up until his execution in 2015 .
chan and myuran sukumaran were in their early twenties as they looked for an “easy payday” by embarking on the ill - fated plan , with seven others , to smuggle eight kilograms of heroin from bali to australia . they were caught , found guilty and sentenced to death .
the other bali nine members remain in jail on life sentences , but there are renewed efforts by leading australian catholic lawyer colin mcdonald qc to return them to australia .
field said chan grew up in a chinese migrant family and was influenced by a salvation army family who lived in his neighbourhood .
“he grew up with faith around him , ” he said . “he obviously chose to live life his own way and ended up where he did . but he always had an understanding of god , but wasn’t living for him .
“when he hit rock bottom in the prison he tells in an unreleased video , which we have , of a moment of crying out to god for help . ”

here’s a movie that’s perfect for those in the mood for a winning saturday night chick flick that comes courtesy of hallmark channel . it’s called
the chemistry between sweeney and vaughan . i believe they shot this movie before greg ever started playing father eric brady on
, these two share an abundance of chemistry the moment the 911 operator ( he knows her as “23” ) and the firefighter ( she knows him as “cowboy” ) meet face to face . yet when they appear together as twins sami and eric on their daytime soap , they do have an appropriate brother - sister vibe going on . it’s funny how that works out .
i love the kids who play sweeney’s son and daughter , luke and elsie . benjamin stockham and charlotte labadie are cute and they’re good little actors . they make me believe their characters’ need to become a whole family again . plus , their quest to help their mom out by starting a professional reading service for the folks at a retirement home is such a sweet move . and their chemistry with vaughan is evident . kids in these stories / flicks are usually hit and miss for me , but stockham and labadie won me over big time .
i understand why jenny is hesitant to completely let jeff in her life . that’s all i’ll say on that matter . but i love how her kids won’t let her pass this opportunity up .
even though their characters were solely utilized to support the main couple , it was good to see ed asner , diego serrano and dawnn lewis .
much like jenny , i totally fell for jeff . the ruggedly handsome firefighter was smart , fun , and the character had “great potential dad” written all over him . not only did i enjoy the way his character easily slipped into life with jenny and the kids , i thoroughly enjoyed jeff’s relationship with a retired fire chief he knows , played by asner . so kudos to greg vaughan . he did such a great job .
alison sweeney ( jenny ) : like i said earlier , alison plays the conniving sami brady on the daytime soap , days of our lives . she also has a night job as host of the biggest loser . over the years , she’s also appeared on friends , las vegas and american dreams .
greg vaughan ( jeff ) : on days of our lives , he currently plays eric brady , sami’s twin who is also a priest . on daytime , he was also luke and laura’s son , lucky spencer , for a number of years on abc’s general hospital . plus , he played diego gutierrez on the young and the restless . on primetime , he was in the original beverly hills 90210 ( he played donna’s boyfriend , cliff yaeger , who eventually became a firefighter ) . vaughan was also in the 90210 reboot as a yoga instructor who hit it off with lori loughlin’s character . and he was dan gordon , one of piper’s boyfriends , on charmed .
dawnn lewis ( jenny’s 911 pal ) : my favorite dawnn lewis role has to be when she played jaleesa on the late great sitcom a different world . her numerous tv credits include the first season of hangin’ with mr . cooper , the secret life of the american teenager and guest starring as quentin’s mom denise on one tree hill . her voiceover work includes king of the hill , glenn martin , dds , the cleveland show , futurama and spider - man . and wouldn’t you know it , lewis was on a few episodes of days of our lives .

i just loved this movie . good for kids . i have been trying to purchase 3 copies for gifts with children from hallmark and i can not find it . how can i purchase this movie ? i have seen it over and over again . one of the best movies i’ve seen . thanks !
hi florence . hallmark doesn’t release all of their films on dvd . i’d recommend checking netflix to see if it’s streaming and point your friends to it that way , or just wait for it to come back around on hallmark channel after the holiday season wraps up and make your own dvd , if you have the setup for that , when it reairs .
if your cable provider carries the new network hallmark drama , it’s airing there this month : urltoken . good luck !
i need 3 copies of this movie . it was a great family movie and touching about fire fighters . how do i purchase three copies . i want them as gifts . please let me know how to get them . i have not had the hallmark station long and will not be able to afford it when my husband passes away from dementia . so i would be able to watch it whenever i want . thanks ! ! ! florence engelbrecht , 15631 linnet street nw unit 208 , andover , mn 55304 e - mail below

the 1960s brought back hellman’s lesbian who vanished three decades earlier . but why does she die ?
, would do well at the box office even if they were released without a seal . ( 122 )
in the 1961 version , however , karen is at first cold toward mary’s grandmother , then angry . “go away , mrs . tilford , ” she snaps at her , “there’s nothing that we want from you . ” after mrs . tilford desperately cries out , “help me ! ” karen shouts at her : “please leave , mrs . tilford . we don’t want you here . ” hayes cut all the lines from the play that indicate mrs . tilford’s concern for karen – “you’ll be all right ? ( 68 ) . more importantly , he cut the entire exchange that dramatizes karen’s refusal to triumph over mary’s grandmother :
karen : i’m tired , mrs . tilford . you will have a hard time ahead , won’t you ? mrs . tilford : yes . karen : mary ? mrs . tilford : i don’t know . karen : you can send her away . mrs . tilford : no . i could never do that . whatever she does , it must be to me and no one else . she’s – she’s – karen : yes . yours to live with the rest of your life . ( for a moment , she watches mrs . tilford’s face ) it’s over for me now , but it will never end for you . she’s harmed us both , but she’s harmed you more , i guess . ( sits down beside mrs . tilford ) i’m sorry . ( the children’s hour , 67 - 68 )
in the play , karen does not wield the power that comes to her through mary’s confession . she does not extract money or apologies or mrs . tilford’s public humiliation . instead , she sees how difficult mrs . tilford’s remaining years will be for her , that whatever she does for karen “won’t bring [ her ] peace” ( 67 ) .
karen’s refusal to show any compassion , any quality of mercy , in wyler’s remake reduces the importance of mrs . tilford’s confession to a mere plot development , the twist in the last reel . the momentum of the story continues inexorably forward with such questions as what will karen do now , will she and joe ever reconcile , how will the townspeople who had been so brutal treat her now ? there is no looking back over the sequence of events that could drive a young woman to suicide .
critical reaction to the children’s hour seems an eager display of a hip liberalism ; however , the stereotyping in which these critics engage reveals a position that obviates the “meaningful” discussion russo would have . while percy hammond in his review of the 1934 stage production of the play choked on “the naughty word ‘l _ _ _ _ _ n , ' ” modern critics are quick to pronounce the word “lesbian . ” bernard dick wonders if mary , “who reads mademoiselle de maupin and prefers to play the knight rather than the lady , ” is actually “the repressed lesbian of the drama” ( 44 ) . further , he suggests that perhaps “karen may also be a lesbian , ” but claims this possibility never quite materializes in wyler’s remake because “hepburn’s karen was so completely feminine” ( 48 ) .
according to the critics , then , women must be prototypical lesbians when they do not conform to the social expectations of “feminine” behavior , as in the case of mary , or full - blown lesbians , as in the case of martha . mellen’s insistence that karen’s postponement of her marriage signifies homoerotic feelings denies the possibility that two women can simply be friends with a nonsexual commitment to each other . “real love , ” as defined by mellen , requires a woman “to sacrifice her own desires for those of the other . ” mellen wants homosexual women to conform to a heterosexual norm of self - sacrificing love that has crippled women in western culture , trapping them in the home , to bear the entire responsibility for rearing the children and maintaining the domestic space . if mellen would only read hellman’s play toys in the attic , she could see just how violent and destructive such sacrificial love can be .
although more willing , even eager to pronounce the word “lesbian” than the critics and reviewers in the ’30s who discussed “rumors of abnormality” or the “less than natural cause” of martha’s anxieties , critics such as mellen and tyler perpetuate a stereotype of lesbians that binds them to the margins of our culture , while shoring up heterosexual norms of “real love” as self - sacrifice . the critical focus on whether or not the two women are “really” lesbians once again distracts from the main point . in this way , martha’s suicide is reduced to the act of a hysterical woman instead of being the fatal representation of her having internalized the culture’s heterosexual norm . her love for karen is self - sacrificing – literally . yet somehow , it doesn’t count .

in between the sequences in which karen sends joe away and martha admits her feelings for karen , wyler inserted a sequence that shows roaslie wells preparing to leave for a new school . mrs . wells finds a handkerchief full of trinkets stolen by rosalie . a series of dissolves connects this scene with rosalie and her mother at mrs . tilford’s house to mrs . tilford’s arrival at the school .
