how do you make a totally unappealing movie out of a story by one of america most famous author . watch this film and find out . maybe i be overrate author carson mccullers and but i be impress by the heart be a lonely hunter and be hop for something memorable here and too . forget it . vanessa redgrave look like a man with her short haircut and clothing . i never find her much to get excite about in almost any movie and anyway . rod steiger a a preacher . how insulting be that . unlikable character and one after the other . well and maybe that the book and too and and i be be unfair to this film . i be not familiar with the story other than what i saw on screen and this be so unappealing a movie that i could never recommend it to anyone . it just one backwards person after another in a backward town . outside of some nice cinematography here and there and there be nothing to recommend . how anyone could sit through 100 minute of this be amazing . i do not even go into how bad this be direct . there be good news represent this be the only film simon cowell direct .
