Product Description
The great Lucille Ball (I Love Lucy, Stage Door, Yours, Mine and Ours) plays Florabelle, an elderly bag lady struggling to survive on the streets of New York City. She carries her most prized possessions in a shopping cart, and has staked out a Manhattan street corner as "home."

When approached by Carrie, a curious young social worker played by Daphne Zuniga (Melrose Place, Spaceballs), Florabelle introduces her to the underground of Grand Central Station and the details of daily survival. Together both women discover a new perspective on their lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars We're sorry, Florabelle :(, July 21, 2005

By	kd321 (Port Neches, TX United States) - See all my reviews

This is such an important movie in Lucille Ball's career. It's heartbreaking and humbling. Hearing Florabelle call for her son while pushing her shopping cart in New York City is enough to bring you to tears. I was very moved. If you didn't already know Lucille Ball was a dramatic actress, you are in for a suprise!

4.0 out of 5 stars Lucy left us with a notable performance, October 7, 2005

By	Jack Richey "carol burnett fan" (Olney, Ill.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This movie was the great Lucille Ball's second to last performance of a legendary career. This is a somber film in that it shows what it is like for the homeless not only for those who live on the streets of the large citys but the smaller ones as well. Lucy gave a sharp performance as an elderly street person and Danaphe Zunige likewise as the compassionate social work. If not for the fairy tale like ending this would be a perfect film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lucy Like You Have Never Seen Her Before , September 17, 2005

By	Tommywood "tommywood" (NORTH HOLLYWOOD, Ca USA) - See all my reviews

I just read that this Film "Stone Pillow" was released on DVD and I purchased the DVD Right away! This is a BARGAIN at $9.99! This was such a Brave Role For Lucille Ball to take on and you can tell from her Stunning Performance that this Role was close to her heart! Not Many Actress's would take such a risk but then again Lucille Ball always was a Trailblazer! Lucy of course was always known as a Comedic actress but she proves in this film that she is just as able in a Hard Hitting Drama! I Live in a Big City(LA) and I see homeless people everyday and it is so easy for people to take them for granted . After watching this film, one has a Whole new Perspective on the Homeless problem(which has grown even worse since bush jr took office) and the people who experience it . I Strongly Recommend this film and it is a film that the entire family should watch!
