    Compared to Faulkner's other novels, the southern town here has disputes and jealousies, but on the whole it's as harmonious as a paradise on earth. Yet another actor-driven film, and I don't even believe Faulknaken has written a character as charismatic as Paul Newman in the film. Plus, I didn't realize until halfway through that that fat guy was the great Orson...

    I set I price on myself, a high high price. I have got quite a lot to give, I have got things I've been saving my whole life. Things like love and understanding and jokes and good times and good cooking. I' m prepared to be the queen of some very lucky man or at least the best wife. Opposite is Paul Newman's words, and it's okay to say nauseous words....

    The movie itself is not hot enough. If you only look at the plot lines, William Faulkner's original book should be an epic involving two generations of farms and new foreign forces, but the movie itself does a good job of rendering the hot and humid southern farms. (How did the crew coax Ao Fatty to cut off his...

    Did the director misread the script? Isn't this supposed to be a noir...

    William Faulkner's works, Marlon Brando's ruffian hero, Orson Welles is very old-fashioned. American spirit. But the translation is so bad that it fails the...

    Xiang Zha Yi gave in and watched the B station version. Fortunately, the dialogue between the male and female protagonists can basically be understood... The rich girl who is soft and self-possessed but refrains her father's love, is finally surrendered by the bad boy who dares to be brutally shadowed by her father. On the contrary, the part about Fatty Ao and his son is more moving. The most powerful marriage movie, Newman's strong flirting gesture is really unconvincing except for his face,...

    There is no doubt that Ritter is a director who succeeds in digging out the script and the actors to get the most out of them. Whatever the story ends up attracting me is always the fatalistic pessimistic ending. This deflation has me really stumped but I believe in a lot of dramatic tension/wonderful The lines are all thanks to Faulkner or the applause// Father, I'm always trying to make you...

    I don't know what the plot of the original is, but I really sympathize with the heroine girl in the film. My brother is not promising, and his spirit is not stable. The person he likes is sick and is either Oedipus or gay. The father's poisonous tongue and daily forced marriage... Played by Uncle Orson Welles 's brilliant. The ending forced a happy reunion, awkward. However, Newman's daughter-in-law can't be...

The Long, Hot Summer quotes

  • Clara: You are barking up the wrong girl, Mr. Quick.

  • Will Varner: You got hellfire and damnation in you, Jody Varner, but you got redemption too. When I think of the hate that put me in there and locked the door and set fire to it, and when I think of the love that wouldn't let me go... I got me a son again. I got me a good right arm - and a left.
