story of post-civil-war family
20 March 2019
Ann Blyth, a couple years after her Oscar nomination for "Mildred Pierce". Lots of big names... Fredric March, John Dall, Edmond O'Brien, Whit Bissell. A period piece, not my favorite. Lots of family things buried deep. Regina (Blyth) keeps talking about going off to chicago, but this is post-civil war, and some things just aren't proper. and each member of the family has its secrets.... but they aren't so secret. and the kkk. it's all going to hit the fan. a bit sensational, but tells a true story, none-the-less. Generational story... kind of goes on and on. Directed by Michael Gordon. It's okay. they keep saying Carpetbagger. Written by Lillian Hellman, who hooked up with Dashiell Hammett for many years.
