"Summer Spring"

The rich family, because of a young man's involvement, intensified all kinds of relationships, and finally everyone got their own perfect destination.

In addition to the happy ending, the film is far more profound than the imagined love of different classes. I have to admire the father played by Orson Welles. It can be said that this eccentric old man is the soul of the film, and the newcomer Paul Newman is just a shadow of his youth.

The film's overly staged lines make even more interesting characters seem contrived, at least for now.

    The father remarried, the son was redeemed, and the daughter had a good son-in-law to come to the door... This story, which was originally full of strong tragic expectations, was so gentle, respectful, thrifty and happy? Although the director also knows that the plot can't be too uneventful, it must be equipped with a gun, a fire and a group of lynching red necks to twist and turn a false alarm. It's just that the word "virtual" is too heavy, and the audience's emotions are all snuffed out in the bud. After acting in such a harmonious and melodious Southern Manor family soap opera, Wells reckoned that it would be difficult for Wells to have the confidence to complain about other people's commercial thrillers - but his own screen presence was a scene-stealing bonus: appearance, body shape, hairstyle, and There are lines that are self-defeating, "I am sixty-one years old this year"... In fact, it was only forty-three years old.

    Very ordinary, vulgar, it turned out to be Paul's Cannes title... But Paul's personal charm has nothing to say. Orson is great!

The Long, Hot Summer quotes

  • Ben: I can see my white shirt and my black tie and my Sunday manners didn't fool you for a minute. Well, that's right, ma'am, I'm a menace to the countryside. All a man's gotta do is just look at me sideways and his house goes up in fire. And here I am, living right here in the middle of your peaceable little town, right in your back yard, you might say. Guess that ought to keep you awake at night.

  • Ben: Well, I'll be damned.

    Will Varner: More than probable, you will be. But first, you're going to church and get married, yeah, to my daughter.
