Tea and Sympathy

Directed by Vincente Minnelli

Tom Lee is a sensitive boy of 17 whose lack of interest in the "manly" pursuits of sports, mountain climbing and girls labels him "sister-boy" at the college he is attending. Head master Bill Reynolds' wife Laura sees Tom's suffering at the hands of his school mates (and her husband), and tries to help him find himself.
