Plot
A dispute between a cotton mill owner and his rival leads to the seduction of his child bride.
Sinekatalog’s take
Elia Kazan's Tennessee Williams comedy-drama, condemned on release, is a steamy Southern farce. Carroll Baker is provocative, Eli Wallach sly, and the film's sultry humour hides a sharp view of decay.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
