With Lillian Gish, Eva Marie Saint, and Eileen Heckart. An elderly woman seeks transcendence from her unhappiness through one final trip to her hometown—the eponymous Bountiful—before her death. This teleplay was subsequently expanded into a full-length Broadway play (which opened in late 1953, with Gish and Saint reprising their roles) and a 1985 feature film. Dir: Vincent J. Donehue.
