Tea and Sympathy 68 years old

Where does a woman's sympathy leave off -- and her indiscretion begin?

Tea and Sympathy

Tom Lee is more interested in the arts than in sports, something that sits uneasily with both his father and his classmates. Tom's school housemaster Bill Reynolds even gives him a hard time for his "effeminate" interests. However, Bill's wife Laura sympathizes with Tom and tries to help him with her own overtures.
