Summary: Good item and seller
Comment: Muddled but good story. Seemed unable to decide where it was going, but great performances by gret actors make it a keeper.

Summary: "Marlon Brando at his best"
Comment: I have always been a big fan of Marlon Brando movies and think he was a great actor and this movie shows him at his best. Yes the other actors in the film many of which were big name stars in their own right did well but as in many of Mr. Brandos films his performance made the film. He was truly an awesome screen presence regardless of who else was acting with him.
This is a film that many Brando fans missed but is definately worth seeing.

Summary: A good but uncomfortable movie
Comment: I have no doubt that my small town in Georgia could have easily been the backdrop of this film forty years ago. Despite that, when I sat down to watch this I thought it was a little slow getting started, but somewhere around the middle you realize that it was necessary to lay the ground work. For the longest time I couldn't believe Redford's character's name was Bubber and not Bubba. Anyhoot, I'm not a Brando fan. Sorry. But I think he's highly overrated and was really famous because he was quite a looker when he was younger. To my surprise, I actually enjoyed him in this film. I wasn't too impressed with Redford, but we can't always get it right. Overall, this a good film and really worth seeing.

Summary: Lillian,Arthur,Marlon and Jane did their best work here.
Comment: I bought this 2004 DVD,expecting a hack copy. I was so wrong. Great DVD.I was fortunate enough to hear Mr. Penns interview about his direction of this film. Set in Texas in the post war era,Horton Footes novel laid a good foundation for this film,updated to the 60's. I read the book,fully expecting to excoriate Ms. Hellman for her work,but I must say she did a fine job of turning a dour and sad story and making it a compelling story about the nature of man under the pressure of his own cconscience.This film suffers only from two problems,the low budget,forcing studio lot shooting,and the excessive editing at the insistence of the studio heads who feared fanning the flames of the civial unrest we suffered in the mid 60s. The result is,as Mr. Penn lamented,that a fine film ended up on the cutting room floor.The product we are left with is a timeless look into the heart of man,bless Lillians commie soul.Get it. Watch it. Keep it to show your children. How movies can really move you.

Summary: Peyton Place with guns
Comment: One of Marlon Brando's best. This is Peyton Place with Guns. One of the best scenarios developed upon the premise of the evil of wagging tongues, jealousy, class envy, and hatred fueled by Friday night party-frenzy and too much booze. One man (Brando's town sheriff) is trying to do the right thing while everyone else is just gone crazy. Jane Fonda (hated her politics, but always loved her acting) is smouldering; Angie Dickinson is smouldering; most of the women are sizzling. The men are cocked and ready to shoot anything that moves. Great movie then. Holds up well today. Great dramatic masterpiece.
