CGiii Comment

If you are familiar with Williams' work then nothing in this will come as a surprise.

Yes, the production values are admirable...but, the story and characters are a re-hash from a playwright who has been unjustly applauded...for too long.

Williams does not stand the test of time and neither does this film.

Tired drivel with a droning drawl.

The(ir) Blurb...

Tells the story of Fisher Willow, the disliked 1920s Memphis débutante daughter of a plantation owner with a distaste for narrow-minded people and a penchant for shocking and insulting those around her. After returning from studies overseas, Fisher falls in love with Jimmy, the down-and-out son of an alcoholic father and an insane mother who works at a store on her family's plantation. She tries to pass him off as an upper-class suitor to appease the spinster aunt who controls her family's fortune, but when she loses a diamond, it places their tenuous relationship in further jeopardy.
