The consequences of the bastard child Mary's nonsense: Joseph (Karen's fiancé played by Hepburn) leaves (Joseph's departure is Karen's choice because Joseph had doubts, so there will be shadows in their hearts anyway in the future More important It's that if Joseph marries her he'll have to get out of here Karen doesn't want Joseph to give up so much for her); Martha (McLean) commits suicide (Mary's nonsense is actually a fact for Martha she loves Karen but Karen is not gay and by this time Mary's grandmother knows the truth and is trying to save their reputation but Martha can't because her relationship with Karen will never be the same again)

William Wheeler is awesome. He uses the lens to construct a delicate and infectious melodrama. He especially likes the light, shadow and composition of old black and white movies. Now the colors are colorful but the layers are hard to see. Grandma Shirley is very academic, and Hepburn is also very good. However, the role is passive and one-way at a disadvantage

The story is a bit like "Hunting", the bear children spread rumors, the public stood on the moral high ground and accused the two unarmed girls, and the ending was dark enough. Wheeler's shot was superb, atmospheric and elegant, and Grandma Shirley's performance was five times better than Hepburn's. Several bear children also played wonderfully

Dr. Joe Cardin: We can't go on like this. Everything I say is made to mean something else!
Karen: I guess every word has a new meaning. Child, love, friend, woman. There aren't many safe words anymore. Even 'marriage' doesn't have the same meaning anymore.
Dr. Joe Cardin: It does to me, and it should to you, if
[he pauses]
Karen: If what?

Martha: Cooking always makes me feel better... Well, I suppose I'll have to feed the duchess, even vultures have to eat. I baked a cake. And you know what, I found a bottle of wine. We'll have a good dinner. Where's Joe?
Karen: Gone.
Martha: Patient? Will he be back in time for dinner?
Karen: No.
Martha: Then we'll wait dinner for him... What's the matter, Karen?
Karen: He won't be back anymore.
Martha: You mean he won't be back anymore, tonight.
Karen: He won't be back at all.
