I will admit that the one really weak thing is the music score, which is constantly blaring at the wrong time and taking away from the actors and their magic. As for the cast, the heat that Newman and Woodward were feeling off the set certainly burned on screen because the two have some wonderful chemistry here. There's no doubt that they bring a lot of smoke to the screen and the two manage to capture the sexuality of the story as well as the dramatic nature of the love story.
Welles is also excellent in his part as the fiery father. Again, Welles had various issues on the set but I thought he was very believable in the part.
There are certainly some flaws throughout the movie but the star power alone makes it a must see. Enjoy a night in with these popular movies available to stream now with Prime Video.

The Left Handed Gun From the Terrace Until They Sail An up-and-coming pool player plays a long-time champion in a single high-stakes match. Edit Cast Complete credited cast: Ben Quick Joanne Woodward Clara Varner Anthony Franciosa Jody Varner Orson Welles Will Varner Lee Remick Eula Varner Angela Lansbury Minnie Littlejohn Richard Anderson Alan Stewart Sarah Marshall I wish they would release the version on DVD.
The realism of the film reminds me of the southern USA I grew up in. I remember the fears of farmers as related to barn burners and names associated with them. The director and cast did a wonderful job in my opinion with this version bringing out southern life as it really exists and family feuds. I could feel the hot, humid summer nights and almost smell the swamps and wetlands with their unique scent.
Cybil Sheppard did a very nice job portraying a young southern woman questioning her marriage then realizing what she could lose.
