brother robert mitchum and tab hunter be live way off the beaten path and and every winter and a certain panther start kill their livestock and be never catch . this winter will be different . i would like to give this movie the benefit of the doubt and a to what this philosophical drama may actually be try to say and but this be basically a major disappointment and consider the talent of it star and include teresa wright and diana lynn and alfafa ( a an indian ) and and beulah bondi and who say this be her favorite role . i can see why and a her character be more interesting and complicate than her usual kind of motherly type . but that be all really of interest . if you catch a minute of this and be transfix by it color photography of black and white and you will find there not much else to really see . the dialogue be tiresome and with the character continually say that if the panther be black . if the panther be black . if the panther be black . i do give it a 4 and for some reason . i guess for it star and intrigue end and but this be a curiosity piece at best . i will say though and that the panther may be hear and but be never see . i think it would have be more successful have it have more obvious action with a cat you could see and less talk and and if the panther be black . after read other review and i do agree this be more of a mood piece and which center on tab character grow up and stand up for himself . but and overall and you still leave the movie feeling somewhat bemuse and let down and and on the whole and dissatisfy with it . but if the panther be black .
