The Long Hot Summer (6-Oct-1985)
Director: Stuart Cooper Writers: Rita Mae Brown; Dennis Turner From novel: The Hamlet by William Faulkner Keywords: Romantic Drama
REVIEWS Review by anonymous (posted on 9-Jun-2006) Probably some of the best
performances from many of this stellar cast: Don Johnson pulls deep
inside to portray the misunderstood Ben Quick. Both he and Judith Ivey
make Faulkner's characters uncomfortably too real. Ava Gardner, as
Minnie Littlejohn, brings class to a character meant to be just another
cheap, contemptible woman. Even Jason Robards, Cybill Shepard, and
William Russ rise to the other actors' standards in this underrated
rendition of a Southern classic.
