I always thought this movie was a pale version of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" based on a much better Tennessee Williams play. But it was great to see Newman and Woodward together. Angela Lansbury was excellent in every move she has always been in. The cast is excellent and, I am from the South. and the accents are very authentic. I always thought Orson Welles was overrated as a director and actor -- this movie proves it. I think Hollywood must have been hurting when Welles was around. But, lemme tell you. Paul Newman with his shirt off in this little movie was worth the price of admission. Finally, while I always liked Woodward, she was no Liz Taylor!
