2h 30m
Directed by Vincente Minnelli • 1960 • United States
Starring Robert Mitchum, Eleanor Parker, George Peppard
Vincente Minnelli’s baroquely stylized melodrama casts Robert Mitchum as the patriarch of a wealthy Texas family who must confront their hidden secrets when his philandering ways come back to haunt them. The director’s typically florid use of color and the expressive possibilities of the CinemaScope frame enhance the roiling emotional intensity of this subversive exploration of troubled masculinity and the dark undercurrents coursing beneath the surface of the American family.
