Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaHorton Foote, at first, would not allow another film version of his play, because he didn't want anybody to play Carrie except Lillian Gish. He later agreed, but only if either Geraldine Page or Kim Stanley played Carrie.
- GoofsThe statement about the location NOT looking like the Montrose neighborhood of Houston is NOT accurate. People who have lived in Houston know the Montrose neighborhood, among others, has houses built on man-made banks to protect property from floods. Although the scene was filmed in the Dallas area, the street and the houses on banks look exactly like Montrose. All of Houston is NOT flat.
- Quotes
Mrs. Carrie Watts: I guess when you've lived longer than your house and your family, then you've lived long enough.

Featured review
Geraldine's finest hour
When F. Murray Abraham opened the envelope to reveal the Best Actress winner that year, he said "I consider this woman the finest actress in the world", and its hard to argue that point. She owns this movie and no one else would have done it as beautifully. Thank God this movie was done before she passed.
