Getting a bar hostess to pose as a wife, is tough. His good nature was the key. But the way they put it up, is something poetic. Having a kid around & still caring in subtle ways. When she leaves, she leaves a trail of broken hearts. And buckets of tears flow.
A lovely drama. The child artist is superb.
