The Long, Hot Summer Reviews
Entertaining Southern Soap Opera
This is a very entertaining melodrama. Paul Newman is incredibly handsome as a charismatic drifter and Joanne Woodward is perfect as a repressed yet spunky schoolteacher. Orson Welles plays Woodward's father in a manner that brings Boss Hogg to mind. His fake Southern accent, though, is so tough to understand it is fortunate that this film is close captioned. Lee Remick is lovely as a brainless Southern belle but Tony Francioso seems miscast as Welles's despised weakling son. Angela Lansbury is also at hand and does a passing Southern accent for a British gal. The ending is not at all what I exected but I'm sure it pleased 1950's movie audiences. An AMC channel "Back Story" is included with Newman, Lansbury and Woodward sharing their memories of making the film.
