Readers of John Berendt's bestselling novel were bound to be at least somewhat disappointed by this big-screen adaptation, but despite mixed reaction from critics and audiences, there's still plenty to admire about director Clint Eastwood's take on the material. Readers will surely miss the rich atmosphere and societal detail that Berendt brought to his "Savannah story," and the movie can only scratch the surface of Georgian history, tradition, and wealthy decadence underlying Berendt's fact-based murder mystery. Still, Eastwood maintains an assured focus on the wonderful eccentrics of Savannah, most notably a gay Savannah antiques dealer (superbly played by Kevin Spacey), who may or may not have killed his friend and alleged lover (Jude Law). John Cusack plays the Town & Country journalist who arrives in Savannah to find much more than he bargained for--including the city's legendary drag queen Lady Chablis (playing "herself")--and John Lee Hancock's smoothly adapted screenplay succeeds in bringing Berendt's characters vividly to life with plenty of flavorful dialogue. In similar fashion to Warner's acclaimed DVD of L.A. Confidential, this classy DVD includes a behind-the-scenes documentary titled The Real People in the Garden and an interactive map tour of Savannah and its most celebrated (or notorious) citizens. The original theatrical trailer is also included. --Jeff Shannon

Mulligan Augustus (Anniston, AL)
Product arrived with the DVD rattling around in the package. The plastic holder for the DVD was broken, but fortunately, the DVD appears intact. However, I am unable to use the movie storage container due to the broken spokes in the package.
ABSOLUTELY FASCINATING! March 3, 2009
Willow Hedwig (Australia)
I never tire of this movie. I read the book some time before I saw the film and really enjoyed it. Although the film is different to the book it is equally enjoyable, and with so many "real" people in the film it's even more interesting in some ways. Kevin Spacey is brilliant as always but everyone does a great job portraying the quirky and often eccentric characters in beautiful old Savannah. An excellent film for anyone who enjoys something a bit different.
One of the best books ever written December 24, 2008

The book is so well written I found it difficult to enjoy the film version. If you have not read the book your have missed THE BOOK, that litteraly made Savannah a tourist attraction. Brendt has done what Margaret Mitchell with GWTW, it simply can't be topped. It is a classic for the ages.
