Paul Newman has his glorious youthful swagger in this southern-fried melodrama, which marked his first picture with Joanne Woodward (they married after shooting ended). The script is a melange of William Faulkner stories, although it appears more under the influence of Tennessee Williams and Picnic than the Nobel Prize winner. Drifter Newman catches the eye of schoolmarm Woodward and her father, a rural Mississippi bigshot (Orson Welles). This is not one of Welles's better moments; he appears to be conducting make-up experiments. There is some enjoyable flapdoodle along the way, in the Freud-meets-Gone with the Wind manner of '50s southern cooking, but the ending is embarrassingly compromised. The same production team would leave out the box-office concessions a few years later on Hud. A studly Newman justifies this description of his character: "I wish I was Ben Quick. He's got the whole state of Mississippi to graze on." --Robert Horton

 The Long Hot Summer February 7, 2010
Regina Maxim
This movie is an oldie but goodie. Paul Newman and his wife, Joanne Woodward make this one of my favorite love stories. I never tire of watching this wonderful movie.
The DVD itself was a very good copy and played like a charm.

I first saw this movie about 25 years ago it was great then and it still holds true. One of Newman best performances. The cast in this movie is outstanding,and includes Joananne Woodword, Orsen Wells. The story takes place in the south and keeps you interested throughout the movie. I could see this movie over and over again. This movie is usually hard to fine on DVD when I found it on Amazon I had to purchase it.
This movie is well worth watching.
Excellent!!! November 21, 2009

This is by far one of my favorite films that I can watch over and over without tiring of. The acting is flawless. This film totally transports you back to a simpler place, time and way of life. Will Varner is the domineering patriarch that you love to hate and Ben Quick's cool confidence and good looks would make even Scarlett O'hara swoon!!!!! I love it!!!

Richard W. T. Bate (Australia)
Never saw this on the big screen but on TV as a teenager and think it is one of Paul Newmans best performances (of course there is Cool Hand Luke and The Sting) but his brooding character with a drive to succeed was something that I related to on a personal level so it may not be everyones choice, just mine. The chemistry between Paul Newman and his wife is just great and the other characters bring good performances to the table as well making the movie very entertaining viewing.
