Direction by John Huston is resourceful and dynamic as he sympathetically weaves together the often-vague and philosophical threads that mark Tennessee Williams' writing.

Films of Tennessee Williams' plays now often look very artificial and overwrought, but with this Huston came up with one of the best.
