“The boyish young Warren Beatty shows his gift for slyness.”
– Pauline Kael
THIS PROPERTY IS CONDEMNED
(1966, Sydney Pollack) In 30s Mississippi, Mary Badham (To Kill a Mockingbird) remembers desperate-to-get-out-of-town sister Natalie Wood, whose mom Kate Reid is longing to make her the family’s meal ticket; stranger Robert Redford, in town to fire people for the railroad – and Charles Bronson at his creepiest. Co-adapted by Francis Ford Coppola from Williams’ one-act. Approx. 113 min. DCP.

“A handsomely-mounted, well acted Depression era drama… adult without being sensational, touching without being maudlin.”
– Variety
