U.S., 1967
Directed by John Huston
Based on Carson McCullers’ Reflections in a Golden Eye
Starring Elizabeth Taylor, Marlon Brando, Brian Keith, Robert Forster
Approx. 108 min. 35mm.
“A veritable hothouse of strange desires and bizarre fancies, what with Taylor and Brando brooding moodily, brandishing whips, and galloping round on symbolic stallions. Stuck in the married quarters of a Deep South army base, she is carrying on with another officer (Keith), while he hopefully dogs a virginal young soldier (Forster) with a penchant for riding nude in the woods. The soldier meanwhile takes to sneaking into Taylor's room to watch her sleep, and Keith's neurotic wife (Harris) consoles herself in a motherly affair with a cuddly Filipino houseboy.” – Time Out
Reviews
“A superbly controlled exercise in the malevolent torments of despair.”
