Hot Spell (1958)

 
A housewife is doing her best to keep her family together as it's slowly falling apart, a fact she's trying to ignore.
 
White-knuckled family drama and tragedy almost overdoes it, but is saved thanks to the brilliant cast. 

Halliwell*: "Overwrought domestic drama slipping perilously close to farce at times, but a good theatrical vehicle for its stars."

Maltin**: "Well-acted but dated drama...MacLaine shines as their daughter."
