Williams Fans Attend To This
PostedDecember 31, 2009

from New York, NY
Essential for Williams fans. Less than riveting, but features characters (including its spoiled, reckless, heartbreaking heiress) and dialog that are uniquely, authentically Williams. Such unknown material, full of precious jewels, written during his peak years must be seen by those of us forever under his spell. No doubt he would have refined his script had the film been made in his time. Kudos to the filmmakers for leaving the script untouched by modern adapters. In its authenticity its value lies. Also in some performances: A quietly riveting Ann-Margret, Ellen Burstyn's rousing death-bed scene, Chris Evans brooding in the Paul Newman role (if only!), and as the heroine, a harsh but emotionally honest Bryce Dallas Howard.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
