a a fan of wm . faulkner since college and i be especially pleased to see intruder in the dust and for other reason . my grandfather and also name clarence brown a be the director and grow up in the oxford area have be bear near there in 1888. we attend a week long family reunion at oxford in july and 1964 a mere 15 year after film the movie . it still look mostly like it do in the film but be go thru a period of civil right upheaval then a the site of ole miss . my recollection be of it be a nice little college town that summer but i be just an 18 year old college sophomore and white . i be just then begin to see the injustice of segregation and prejudice but still have a long way to go . anyhow and the movie be well worth watch but the filmmaker must have have to walk a tight rope to get it do there and i would love to know more about that story . now day and oxford be a large and more modern college town with all the ill that go along with such thing and i hope to return again to see how it must have change socially in the last 40 plus year . juano hernandez should certainly have be nominate for an oscar that year but hollywood be still to bigoted itself to let that happen . other faulkner story have be film so look for them and compare . one of the best be a pbs treatment of the barn burner from about 1985 or so starring tommy lee jones . it really capture the intensity of rural southern white that faulkner write so incisively about so often .
