Story by Tennessee Williiams. So there will be crying, pain, jealousy, heartbreak. And it will all take place in the south. Bryce Howard (Opie's daughter!) is the educated, but not so refined Fisher Willow, who hires local boy Jimmy (Chris Evans) to accompany her to the local summer events. She's definitely upper class, but has a pretty firm grip on what's going on, and appreciates people, in spite of their current situations. Not sure what the dance show by the young girls was showing us... was that an illustration of the lack of good entertainment at the time? Things go swell... until FIsher loses an expensive earring. And that changes everything. She spends time with old miss Addie (Ellen Burstyn), and they learn from each other. And Jimmy learns some lessons of his own that same night. Some fun co-stars... AnnMargret (Cornelia), Will Patton was the evil assistant in the 1987 No Way Out. It's typical Tennessee. Directed by Jodie Markell. Really good! Not as miserable as expected. Williams sure did have a hand on the pulse of feelings and honesty.
