Editorial Review:

Description:
The great Lucille Ball (I Love Lucy, Stage Door, Yours, Mine and Ours) plays Florabelle, an elderly bag lady struggling to survive on the streets of New York City. She carries her most prized possessions in a shopping cart, and has staked out a Manhattan street corner as "home."

When approached by Carrie, a curious young social worker played by Daphne Zuniga (Melrose Place, Spaceballs), Florabelle introduces her to the underground of Grand Central Station and the details of daily survival. Together both women discover a new perspective on their lives.



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Tour-de-force performance
Lucille Ball's performance of Florabelle (a bag lady) is excellent. It is one of her best dramatic performances along with "The Big Street." Her portrayal of a bag lady is fearless yet heartwarming. This 1980's TV movie was a huge hit in the Nielsen ratings and I would recommend this film to everybody (especially Lucy fans). I'm surprised she didn't get an Emmy nomination for her performance. It's a truly tour-de-force performance. A+



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Stone Pillow
It is great movie with Lucille BallStone Pillow. It was one of the last movies she made, about a bag lady and her life.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Wonderful Drama
One of Lucille Balls finest works. Very heart warming and moving. This movie truely shows that she was not only the best comedianne, but an all-around actress that can make you laugh or cry. Truely love this movie



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Somber and enlightening
I've waited almost 18 years for this movie to come out on DVD - and what a surprise when it did - I've missed it countless times on television (Computer literate - can't set my vcr) - but a friend recc'd it - and I can't believe it - I freaking cried like a baby at some of the stuff that the homeless go through -

Lucille Ball is a wonderful actress - and this just puts the cherry on top of her wonderful career sundae. She's both light-hearted but heartfelt in her portrayal - and most ... Read More
