One critic decribed the play as a "tedious retread" of On Golden Pond. He went on to say here were "Beautiful moments, all - and all are Katharine Hepburn. Let's be grateful that Mr Thompson feeds her lines and stays out of the way....Mr Thompson has written a tired play - but be assured his star goes ahead and puts on her own vital show without him".

Karloff is best remembered for his roles in Universal horror films and his portrayal of Frankenstein's monster in Frankenstein (1931), Bride of Frankenstein (1935), and Son of Frankenstein (1939).

This is a great Karloff rarity (and probably unique). In their March 15th issue in 1968, Life magazine ran an article entitled The Truth About Frankenstein, about how Mary Shelley created the monster 150 years earlier.
