Paul Newman has his glorious youthful swagger in this southern-fried melodrama, which marked his first picture with Joanne Woodward (they married after shooting ended). The script is a melange of William Faulkner stories, although it appears more under the influence of Tennessee Williams and Picnic than the Nobel Prize winner. Drifter Newman catches the eye of schoolmarm Woodward and her father, a rural Mississippi bigshot (Orson Welles). This is not one of Welles's better moments; he appears to be conducting make-up experiments. There is some enjoyable flapdoodle along the way, in the Freud-meets-Gone with the Wind manner of '50s southern cooking, but the ending is embarrassingly compromised. The same production team would leave out the box-office concessions a few years later on Hud. A studly Newman justifies this description of his character: "I wish I was Ben Quick. He's got the whole state of Mississippi to graze on." --Robert Horton

This is one of my favorite "summer movies" that I remember from when I was growing up. Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward are wonderful together.

THE MOVIE WHERE PAUL NEWMAN AND JOANNE WOODWARD FELL IN LOVE. ELECTRIC PERFORMANCE AND TIMELESS STORY. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
 One of Newman's best October 31, 2008
Judith M. Hunziker (Carmichael, CA ,USA)
This has been a favorite movie with me ever since it was made, and I'm so glad Amazon has made it available for sale, now that's on on DVD. Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward sizzle. It was at the making of this movie that they met, married soon after and had their legendary long marriage. Some of his other movies have been bigger money-makers and have garnered awards, but I like this the most. Also stars Orson Welles and Angela Lansbury in memorable roles.
