An emotionally complex and well-acted southern gothic drama about lust, greed, and desire with excellent direction and writing.

T. Williams flic about lust & deception. Probably a good film, but Eli Wallach is a Jewish guy from Brooklyn where I grew up, so I laughed.

Controvert in a magnificent way. Elia Kazan is always worth it.
