It is true that this film was critically and commercially unsuccessful in 1967, but the years have been kind and it is much more highly regarded today, the Huston's direction and the performances of Brando and Taylor.
The plot summary has serious flaws. ...For one thing, Brando does not follow Robert Forster into the house. Brando is in the house at the time; it's his house, for chrissake. ...Brando never rides after Forster when Forster is nude. ...Brando also never falls into a blackberry bush. That is the lie Brando makes up to conceal the fact that he beat his wife's horse, something he does in a fit of bizarre jealousy.
In T. S. Eliot's poem "Lines for an Old Man," he wrote, "Reflected from my golden eye The dullard knows that he is mad." This may have some affinity to the title of McCullers' work.Lestrade (talk) 03:54, 27 August 2011 (UTC)Lestrade[reply]
