essentially and this be a depressing drama . no surprise and since it be base on a novel by william faulkner . film it in black and white be appropriate and because it come off a a low class and dingy story . however and the performance by the four main actor be very good . it be interest that rock hudson and robert stack and and dorothy malone also star together in the movie write on the wind and in 1956 and which be a good movie and but with very similar character type . another item to note be a small bit part play by troy donahue and soon to be a major star in his own right . it the only time i recall see jack carson play a dramatic part and although he still have some sarcastic line that be apparently suppose to inject a bit of humor inappropriate in this movie . i probably would not watch this film again very soon and because it not my idea of entertainment .
