John Kerr stars as Tom Lee, a young man in 1950s America whose sensitivity and artistic nature earns him the name "sister boy" among his peers. His father doesn't respect him and his school's headmaster (Leif Erickson) despises him. His only sense of hope comes in the form of his headmaster's wife, Laura (Deborah Kerr). But will her sympathy be enough to help Tom as he embarks on the darkest period of his life? Vincente Minnelli directs this beautiful, melodramatic tale based on a play by Robert Anderson.
