CastVanessa Redgrave Keith Carradine Cork Hubbert Rod Steiger
NotesStrange film set in the American south. British actress plays the lead part of a spinsterish woman who dominates a small town. The British actor, Simon Callow, directs for the first time and the Indian Ismail Merchant produces. All have excellent credentials but the film apparently doesn't gel. Cork Hubbert plays her cousin, a dwarf who arrives on the scene to prepare the way for the return of her ex-husband . From novella by Carson McCullers and play by Edward Albee
