While sailing along the Georgia coast, a widower (Frank Mayo) not quite over the untimeIy death of his wife anchors off a small inlet in search of fresh water. There he finds a dilapidated mansion, a beautifuI Southern beIIe (Virginia ValIi), her terror-stricken grandfather (Nigel de BruIier) and a homicidaI maniac (Charles A. Post) who won't Iet anyone Ieave the mainIand alive. Fear and desires run deep in this steamy meIodrama from director King Vidor, who shot on actual Florida locations to capture the humidified atmosphere of the source novel. Vidor, whose career began in 1913, went on to make the cIassics The Big Parade, The Crowd, HalIeIujah, DueI ln The Sun and The Fountainhead. When he finally retired in 1980, he entered the record books as the Iongest working director in film history. |
