Come Back, Little Sheba

The end of the opening scene with housewife Lola (Shirley Booth) and potential boarder Marie (Terry Moore), then the introduction of Burt Lancaster as "Doc," by some standards his first legit acting role, in Come Back, Little Sheba, 1953, directed by Daniel Mann.

Perhaps the first indication that recovering alcoholic Doc (Burt Lancaster) is losing patience with frumpy wife Lola (Shirley Booth), talking about his AA program when tension is maybe relieved by new boarder Marie (Terry Moore), in Come Back, Little Sheba, from William Inge's first Broadway play.

The first scene away from home, Lola (Shirley Booth) joins Doc (Burt Lancaster) marking his first anniversary at what is, in AA parlance, an open meeting, guests allowed, Philip Ober as "Ed," leading the group, in Come Back, Little Sheba, 1953, from the William Inge play.
