Film Frenzy

Matt Brunson

A rich family drama anchored by Robert Mitchum's fine performance and further distinguished by superlative support, by George (two of them, actually).

Although it is too long and there are some perplexing gaps and ambiguities in the story, this is an interesting and richly atmospheric rural drama with a Deep South locale.

Minnelli milks every last drop of sentiment from the not-at-all distinguished script. And many drops that aren't there.

it deserves more recognition for its exploration of toxic masculinity, its portrayal of a dysfunctional family, Minnelli's excellent direction and the great cast.

Its rhetoric may be laconic and folksy, but its fury and its nobility seem distilled from Shakespeare.
