1966, 105 minutes, Rated M
Repressed desires, sultry women, sweltering weather and a handsome new stranger in town... this is playwrigt Tennessee Williams at his very best. Depression-era Dodson, Mississippi, is particularly devasted with the arrival of Owen Legate (Robert Redford), a railroad official with a pocketful of pink slips for the rail yard employees. Natalie Wood is captivating as Alva Starr, the coquettish town flirt with plenty of big plans but nowhere to go... until Legate appears on her doorstep. Their ensuing affair enrages Alva's distant, uncaring mother (Kate Reid) - and ignites a town's revenge. Masterfully directed by Sydney Pollack (The Way We Were, Out Of Africa, The Firm) and co-written for the screen by Francis Ford Coppola (The Godfather trilogy), This Property Is Condemned sizzles with unbridled passion and fiery emotion.
