Description

Inspired by Tennessee Williams' play. Brought to life by Hollywood's biggest stars. He's the wrong man to love. How could it all seem so right? Robert Redford and Natalie Wood headline this sexually charged Depression-era drama. Redford (whose next film, Barefoot In The Park), would rocket him to stardom) plays Owen Legate, a railroad official come to backwater Dodson, Mississippi, with a pocketful of pink slips for the yard employees. Wood (at age 28 already a 23-year screen veteran) portrays the town flirt whose affair with Legate ignites her mother's - and the town's - revenge. Repressed desires, sultry women, sweltering weather and a handsome stranger... this is Tennessee Williams territory. And with stars Redford, Wood and co-star Charles Bronson, it's all prime property.

Customer Reviews:

3 Star movie- 10 stars for Natalie Wood.......2007-06-23

This is a solid enough film version of a 1 act Tennessee Williams play. The screenplay is well adapted, the locations and costuming is wonderful and the supporting cast of young Charles Bronson and Robert Blake among others is very strong. What makes this movie incredibly watchable is Natalie Wood. She quite literally lights up the screen in this and is impossibly beautiful in every scene she is in. The chemistry between her and Redford is ok. Any guy who watches this and doesn't fall in love with Natalie Wood needs to have his pulse checked.

Who doesn't love Redford and Wood.......2007-05-28

The melancholy way in which this movie begins sets the tale for a beautiful movie. Two young sisters struggle to escape the life their mother has laid out for them. Redford comes into the life of the beautiful Wood. This a movie you can never grow tired of watching.

Redford Casting Mistake.......2007-01-14

Robert Redford would have been my first choice had his character been a northern sophisticated elite. Legatt's character is too unsophisticated for Redford. Neither his portrayal of the character nor his southern drawl are convincing. Martin Sheen would have been a better choice.

What a wonderful movie bringing these two great stars together!! Love the history on it and it is another treasured addition to my collection!!

Very Nice DVD Picture Quality.......2007-01-07

This film has a All-Star line-up of big name actors as well as Big Deal behind the scenes movie personalities. The cast and crew manage to pull this one thru even though this may not be considered by film critics to be their best work. There's something about the off beat mood/theme that keeps the viewer interested in the story, and that is probably what holds this film together. Paramount has done a very nice job with the picture quality and sound. Another fine effort that should keep all those who purchase this DVD content.
